Effects of the Flow Field and Wavemaking Resistance on the Lateral Distributions of the Trimaran
Abstract
We studied the trimaran model by using Fluent to simulate the viscous flow field on different lateral distributions. Through studying the impact of the change of lateral distributions surface dynamic force, the results show that the change on distributions has a major effect on wavemaking at the midship and the stern. In comparative analysis of the resistance in different distributions, it is pointed out that a rational layout of the transverse space in a certain range has a positive effect on the resistance performance of the trimaran. The Layout of the lateral parts in front has a relative positive effect on the resistance performance in low speed while that in back is beneficial for the improving the resistance performance in high speed, and further giving out the best layout of the trimaran in different speed.
