Both towing tank experiments and wedge drop experiments are used to experimentally study slamming events on planning craft. The work presented in this paper shows a unique comparison between these two experiments. The first experiment was a towing tank test of a rigid hull in waves conducted at the U.S. Naval Academy. The second experiment was a series of free-falling water entry tests on a wedge conducted at Virginia Tech. In this paper, comparisons are drawn between the two experiments by using non-dimensional analysis and isolating similar slamming events. The non-dimensional impact velocities are chosen to be identical.

Low emission requirements exert increasing influence upon ship design. The large variety of technological options makes selecting systems during the conceptual design phase a difficult endeavor. To compare different solutions, we need to be able to exchange individual systems and directly evaluate their impact on the design’s economic and environmental performance. Based on the idea of model-based systems engineering, we present a modular synthesis approach for ship systems. The modules are coupled to a discrete event simulation and allow for a case-based assessment of system configurations. We apply this method to a high-speed passenger ferry and show how it can provide decision support for hydrogen- and battery-based system architectures.

The long distance transport of offshore personnel has traditionally been undertaken by air. However, the desire for increased safety and efficiency in combination with the drive to lower operational cost in the offshore industry opens up new possibilities for fast marine access solutions. This article presents the development of the next generation Fast Crew Supplier that combines high transit speeds at high comfort levels with a reliable, safe and comfortable method of personnel exchange to the platform using a Walk-to-Work solution. The results of an integrated design approach are presented which are used to optimize the main transfer systems and their controls. It is shown that optimization of these systems allows a high workability for a Walk-to-Work solution on a fast and relatively lightweight ship in challenging wave conditions.

With an increasing emphasis on emission restrictions and environmental impact of carbon-based energies, transportation industries are rapidly focusing on research, development, and implementation of zero-emission fuels and technologies. In the United States, the maritime industry provides key transportation services for people and goods. Immediate and future legislation at the state and federal levels are beginning to push passenger vessel operators to seek more carbon-neutral propulsion methods and begin the necessary transition towards a zero-emission future. Small high-speed, zero-emission vessel concepts are being introduced in the United States, most notably the SWITCH project of San Francisco. The SWITCH project aims to put the first hydrogen fuel cell e-ferry into service in 2021. To date, the zero-emission fast ferry efforts have focused on smaller passenger vessels. This paper examines the potential design elements and operating conditions required for a large (450 passengers) high-speed vessel to meet zero-emission standards. Key ferry metrics of speed and passenger capacity are studied with this concept hull to compare a zero-emission propulsion system against a more traditional carbon-based system. To account for major project decision factors, the economics/cost and regulatory restrictions of a hydrogen fuel cell system are considered for a high-speed passenger vessel of this scope. A sensitivity analysis is performed to determine the technological and performance gains necessary for fuel cell power to match the current capabilities of carbon-based powers. Future development of zero-emission technologies is discussed to evaluate the continually improving opportunities for such a large high-speed vessel.

To reduce the negative effects on passengers of the high-speed craft motions in Galapagos inter islands service, an optimization procedure at conceptual design level is developed. First, time histories of vertical acceleration of midship and forward end are first measured and analyzed. Weighted acceleration signals are compared with those from well-known experimental tests and are also used to evaluate the index of motion sickness with ISO 2631 standard to determine the number of persons affected by craft motion. The report from the sea trials includes the number of persons vomiting and those experienced dizziness because of the motions during the two-hour inter islands trip. Then, an optimization procedure using feasible directions is implemented with a combination of resistance and CG acceleration of the vessel to be minimized. Both functions were evaluated using well-known empirical formulations. The results show that increasing length and deadrise angle, and moving LCG forward, it is possible to reduce the acceleration by 20% while obtaining a 4% reduction in resistance.

As aluminum high-speed multi-hulls continue to grow in size, capacity and operational sea state, a need is growing to understand the damage tolerance of these structures. This paper presents a Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) approach to performing damage tolerance assessments of aluminum hull structures using the hydrodynamic analysis and global finite element model developed as part of a class Dynamic Loading Approach (DLA) notation. The LEFM approach is used to calculate the stress intensity factor (K) and the critical crack length throughout the model to screen the entire hull structure and identify fracture critical locations. This paper also investigates the use of elastic-plastic fracture mechanics to predict potential critical crack growth locations, rates, and directions. Fracture critical locations identified and visualized through the analysis provide the ship designer with tools to develop damage tolerant structures. The results of the analysis can also assist owners and regulatory bodies in developing structural inspection and repair plans.
