Numerical Calculation of Slamming Pressure on Wet-Deck of Trimaran

Abstract:

Due to the air cushion and splash the slamming into the water of Trimaran connecting bridge are highly nonlinear, this paper discusses the problem of typical Trimaran sections slamming into the water by use of general finite element software MSC.Dytran. Through secondary development program implemented the initialization of water pressure, considered the coupling structural-air-water, a simulation method for connecting bridge slamming into the water has developed. The results show that the method meets the engineering precision and can give reference for Trimaran construction and operation.
