Abstract
The double M-craft is a new type of high-performance multihull vessel that combines the gliding characteristics of a planing boat with the resistance-reducing characteristics of a hovercraft, but it also suffers from motion instability in regular waves. At present, there is scarce study on the effect of appendage on the motion stability of double M-craft in regular waves. By using the software star-ccm+ to numerically simulate the pitching and heaving motions of a double M-craft installed with tunnel hydrofoils and stern flaps in regular waves. Based on the overset mesh technology, the volume of fluid (VOF) method is used to capture the water–gas two-phase flow field. The 2-degree of freedom (2-DOF) motion of the rigid body is simulated by dynamic fluid-body interaction (DFBI). After investigating the effects of these combined appendages on the hydrodynamic performance, running attitude, and motion response of a double M-craft in regular waves, the optimal mounting parameters of the combined appendage have been obtained. The results have shown that all nine types of combined appendages can reduce the heave and pitch. The optimal combined appendage installation parameters include a hydrofoil longitudinal mounting position of 1/8L, an angle of attack of 3 deg, a stern flap length of 1.5%L, and a flap angle of 5 deg, which can effectively reduce the pitching response by about 8% and reduce the swaying response by about 2.6%, and enhance its longitudinal motion stability.
