Untersuchung zur Manoevrierfaehigkeit von SWATH-Schiffen (Modellversuche)

Abstract

The report describes the model tests performed with different SWATH configurations and the corresponding results. Altogether seven configurations were tested. Beside three strut variants (overhanging and shortened single struts, and twin struts) the investigation also embraced a draught and a hull separation modification. In the case of the shortened single struts the single strut with hull combination was tested alone. Furthermore the case of two through struts without hulls was investigated. The model tests mainly served as verification of a mathematical approach (to be developed by MTG Marinetechnik GmbH, Hamburg) to determine the hydrodynamic forces acting on the ship during sway and yaw motions. This aside, the model tests served as basic tests with regard to particular specialized problems.
