Asymmetric Vessel Impact and Planing Hydrodynamics

The paper proposes a two-dimensional theory for asymmetric impact problems of vessels with arbitrary geometry. The interaction of two body sides is incorporated into the hydrodynamic impact model. Following Vorus's (1996) flat-cylinder theory, two types of flow models are established for cases of small and large asymmetry. The distinguishing difference between the two types is whether the flow is attached or separates at the keel on the first instances of impact. General solutions for such nonlinear boundary value problems are determined by solving the singular integral equations, while free-vortex shedding (jet-spraying) is carried out through a time-marching procedure. Initial conditions are derived from basic solutions of flat-sided contours with constant impact velocity. The method of discrete vortices is then applied to the prediction of slamming loads (including both lifting force and restoring moment) on typical two-dimensional sections of vessels with flat or nearly flat bottoms. Calculated results of both flow types, i.e., small and large asymmetry, are presented for various hull contours with constant or variable impact velocity. This approach also provides the foundation for future work involving traverse dynamic stability analysis of high speed planing hulls.
