On Wave Load Test and Simulation Forecast of the Over-specification Passenger Catamaran in Inland Waterways
The hydrodynamic analysis model for predicting the wave load of the catamaran was established to calculate the dynamic response of the catamaran under the heave,roll and pitching states,as well as the distribution characteristics of the wave loads along the ship length,the speed influence characteristics of the wave loads,such as shear force,bending moment and torque.The scale ratio model of catamaran was designed and made to carry out the model test of wave loading under different wave incidence with wavelength and angle.The numerical results were compared with that of test,to verify the reliability and ac-curacy of the simulation model and results.
