Hydroelasticity of High-Speed Planing Craft Subject to Slamming Events: An Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Wedge Water Entry
High-speed planing craft operating in waves are subject to frequent water impact, or slamming, as a portion or whole of the craft exits the water and re-enters at high velocity. The global load induced by slamming can cause fatigue-related damages to structures. The local slamming can cause local …

Advancements of Stepped Planing Hulls
… straight line calm water performance of stepped planing hulls has been studied experimentally, by prediction method, and numerically. A model test was conducted to provide a systematic understanding of the effects that displacement and step location have on the performance of a stepped planing …

A Theory and Analysis of Planing Catamarans in Calm and Rough Water
A planing catamaran is a high-powered, twin-hull water craft that develops the lift which supports its weight, primarily through hydrodynamic water pressure. Presently, there is increasing demand to further develop the catamaran's planing and seakeeping characteristics so that it is more …

Slamming of High Speed Craft: A Parametric Study of Severe Cases
High-speed planing craft slamming into waves can cause structural damage to the vessel as well as hinder or injure personnel onboard. As a result, it is one of the primary constraints that limit the operating envelope of high-speed surface vessels. The controlled motion experiments presented in …

Hydrodynamic behaviour of gliding hydrofoil crafts
A new type of high-speed craft, called a Gliding-Hydrofoil Craft (GHC), has recently been developed in Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, China. This craft is similar to a planing hull but with a hydrofoil in the front part of its body. The fixed hydrofoil improves the seakeeping …

An Experimental Study of the Fluid- Structure Interactions of Water Entry of Compliant Structures
… in the study of the slamming of small high-speed craft with flexible bottom structures, such as those made of composites. In this work, this fluid-structure interaction problem is experimentally investigated in different stages. In Stage I, free-falling water entry experiments are conducted on …
