This paper presents a summary of the results of a study of the parametric interrelationships between size, weight, hull proportions, propulsion power, and craft speed of modern, high performance, monohull marine craft. The objective of the study was to derive an empirical method for: i) expeditious definition and optimization of hull geometry, and propulsion plant of candidate craft concepts, and ii) assessment of performance claims in boat design proposals and similar technical literature. Parametric relationships were derived to describe the performance characteristics of high speed craft in terms related to lifting surface theory (i.e aspect ratio and pressure loading of the planing surface) rather than in more conventional "naval architectural" terms such as hull geometry coefficients, slenderness ratio etc. The data provide a fast and convenient method for estimation of propulsion power/speed relationships which requires only limited craft design information and yields results consistent with the precision necessary for the intended usage. The scope of the paper includes a brief review of the technical approach used to accomplish the work, typical data trends and the charts which provide the basis for the simplified power estimation method. Performance estimates derived by means of the method are compared with data derived from the careful and thorough testing of full-scale craft.

Recent simulation testing of existing and proposed improvements to the Houston Ship Channel (HSC) in Galveston Bay has demonstrated the need for additional information on the behavior of ship maneuvering and passing in very restricted waterways. Modeling based on towing tank tests for bank/ship and ship/ship interactions had to be seriously modified for the ships to respond as the pilots indicate ships behave in the HSC. Comparison with scale physical models indicates that these modifications do produce ship motions similar to those measured with the free-running physical models. Prototype measurements also indicate the behavior is being reproduced with the revised simulator model. This suggests the need for new and better methods for determining ship behavior in highly restricted waterways that can account for the free motion of the ship.

A new tool for flow field measurement is in use at the David Taylor Model Basin (DTMB) The Digital Particle, Image Velocimetry (DPIV) technique developed by Willert and Gharib (1) has been used to measure the flow fields of a 2D standing wave and of a laminar vortex pair interacting with 2D traveling waves at a free surface. Application of the DPIV technique to free surface flows introduces new measurement challenges a the position of the non-stationary surface is not known a priori, but must be determined from the video images themselves. The initial application of the DPIV technique at DTMB has shown that it is a useful tool for flow field measurement and visualization with a high throughput rate. It is possible to obtain flow field measurements in almost rea1 time, and the results are immediately available for use in directing experimental efforts. It is envisioned that a myriad of applications will be found for the DPIV technique at DTMB, including the mapping of flow fields around hull forms, appendages, and propulsors.

Numerous methods for calculating wave reflection have been presented in the literature. These methods utilize the recorded wave heights from two or three probes and, in some cases, the phase relationship between the wave probes. The present paper discusses three of the calculation methods and the difficulties encountered in applying the methods to "real" wave tank conditions. Results are presented for the wave reflection from the beach of a two dimensional wave tank, and recommendations are presented concerning the most appropriate method.

The model to full scale correlation in resistance and powering between two scale model USMC waterjet propelled high speed amphibious vehicles is shown. The estimated required thrust for a 0.295 scale model of the High Water Speed Technology Demonstrator and a 0.245 scale model of the Propulsion System Demonstrator are compared to full scale results in a speed range of 5 to 30 knots. Correlation above 22 knots, after correction for air ingestion into the waterjets, is found to be excellent The effects of air ingestion into the waterjets, effect of long time constants to reach steady state, and an apparent hysteresis effect due to acceleration are also discussed.

Wake flow measurements have traditionally been made with pitot probes. Most commonly used probes are of the 5-hole spherical and hemispherical head on cylindrical stem variety. A limitation is that the measurement can be intrusive and the probe may not physically fit in the area to be measured. One modern solution uses multi-component Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) to measure the wake profile. A question arises as to how the laser measurements comp are with the pitot probe measurements. Experimental studies were conducted at the David Taylor Model Basin, Carderock Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (formerly the David Taylor Research Center) where pitot probe s and LDV measurements were simultaneously collected in the propeller plane of a single screw ship model. No n-simultaneous wake measurements have also been collected on twin screw shaft and strut ship models. The two flow measurements correlate well at the outer propeller radii. Near the hub or in low-flow regions, the pitot probe axial velocities fall off more rapidly than LDV measurements.

Several experiments performed by Ceccio and Brennen ( 1991, 1989) and Kumar and Brennen 1992, 1991) have closely examined the interaction between individual cavitation bubbles and the boundary layer, as well as statistical properties of the acoustical signals produced by the bubble collapse. All of these experiments were, however, conducted in the same facility with the same head form size (5.08cm in diameter) and over a fairly narrow range of flow velocities (around 9m/s). Clearly this raises the issue of how the phenomena identified change with speed, scale and facility. The present paper describes experiments conducted in order to try to answer some of these important questions regarding the scaling of the cavitation phenomena. The experiments were conducted in the Large Cavitation Channel of the David Taylor Research Center in Memphis Tennessee, on geometrically similar Schiebe head forms which are 5. 0 8, 25.4 and 50.8cm in diameter for speeds ranging up to 15m/s and for a range of cavitation numbers.

Capacitance wave probes have been traditionally used at DTMB for measuring the wave heights in the Kelvin wake of towed surface ship models. Two new wave height measurement systems have recently been developed at DTMB: a laser wave height probe, using a linear array of charged couple devices, and a surface sensing mechanical probe. These devices represent improvements to the capacitance probes in the form of reduced and/or eliminated susceptibility to contamination and increased frequency response. In this paper, the physics of operation of the measurement systems and design considerations for their optimization will be discussed. Measurements of the free surface in a regular wave field, and for longitudinal wavecuts with a ship-model, over a wide Froude number range, have been made. Based on experimental results, evaluations of the various attributes and shortcomings of each type of probe will be made.

The inception cavitation number a 1 and corresponding propeller revolutions RPM are essential parameters for the prediction of the propeller noise. While RPM and a depend on many factors, the thrust loading coefficient Te and pitch ratio P/0 are important. In this contribution a simple expression, which comes from classical Burrill ship trial cavitation chart and modern model noise experimental analysis is presented. Based on the expression the predicted results for the noise spectra (SPL, vs. 1/3 octave frequency) are acceptable.
