The Water Depth Effect on Ship Pressure Distribution and Surface Wave

Article Preview

Abstract:

Applying linear marine hydrodynamics theory, the Kelvin wave source Green function of steady motion in finite depth was decomposed to three parts: array of simple Rankine sources, local distribution and wave part. Both at subcritical and supercritical speed, the singularity of integral function were eliminated by different integral path. The Kelvin source was distributed on the surface of ship by panel method, and the ship pressure distribution and wave pattern of ship in finite depth were calculated. The difference and connection between finite and infinite depth results were compared. It can provide the theoretical arithmetic base of improving the ship seaworthiness, increasing the speed and optimization of ship in river and offshore strip.
