Aerodynamic characteristics of a hybrid trimaran model

Abstract

Ultra fast marine vehicles can substantially benefit from aerodynamic unloading. The subject of this study is aerodynamics of a hybrid trimaran that comprises three wave-piercing planing hulls and a wing-shaped superstructure. This configuration is characterized by high efficiency and good seaworthiness at speeds about twice those of contemporary fast ferries and combat ships. Aerodynamic coefficients of the above-water structure of the hybrid trimaran were measured in a wind tunnel. A computer code based on the vortex lattice method is applied for modeling steady aerodynamics of this structure in a range of attack angles. The application of an interceptor at the pressure side of the wing is shown to produce significant increase in aerodynamic lift.
