Design and commissioning tests for waterjet self-propulsion testing of a medium-speed catamaran ferry using a single demihull
conference contribution
posted on 2023-05-23, 07:47 authored by Konrad ZurcherKonrad Zurcher, Neil Bose, Jonathan BinnsJonathan Binns, Giles Thomas, Davidson, GA series of self-propulsion tests of a catamaran design at medium-speeds is proposed to study the influence of the hydrodynamics at medium-speeds on the waterjet propulsors. These model tests will be carried out using a load-varied self-propulsion testing technique in calm water. Due to size requirements of the model, a single demihull is to be utilised in close proximity to the side wall of the towing tank which acts as the plane of symmetry, reflecting waves generated by the demihull and therefore providing the acceptable blockage effects and wave interference for the second demihull.
