  • The Stepped Hull Hybrid Hydrofoil
    The Stepped Hull Hybrid Hydrofoil Christopher D. Barry, Bryan Duffty Planing @brid hydrofoils or partially hydrofoil supported planing boat are hydrofoils that intentionally operate in what would be the takeoff condition for a norma[ hydrofoil. They ofler a compromise ofperformance and cost that might be appropriate for ferq missions. The stepped hybrid configuration has made appearances in the high speed boat scene as early as 1938. It is a solution to the problems of instability and inefficiency that has limited other type of hybrids. It can be configured to have good seakeeping as well, but the concept has not been used as widely as would be justified by its merits. The purpose of this paper is to reintroduce this concept to the marine community, particularly for small, fast ferries. We have performed analytic studies, simple model experiments and manned experiments, andfiom them have determined some specljic problems and issues for the practical implementation of this concept. This paper presents background information, discusses key concepts including resistance, stability, seakeeping, and propulsion and suggests solutions to what we believe are the problems that have limited the widespread acceptance of this concept. Finally we propose a “strawman” design for a ferry in a particular service using this technology. BACKGROUND Partially hydrofoil supported planing hulls mix hydrofoil support and planing lift. The most obvious A hybrid hydrofoil is a vehicle combining the version of this concept is a planing hull with a dynamic lift of hydrofoils with a significant amount of hydrofoil more or less under the center of gravity. lit? tiom some other source, generally either buoyancy Karafiath (1974) studied this concept and ran model or planing lift.

  • Human Powered Hydrofoil Design & Analytic Wing Optimization
    Human Powered Hydrofoil Design & Analytic Wing Optimization Andy Gunkler and Dr. C. Mark Archibald Grove City College Grove City, PA 16127 Email: [email protected] Abstract – Human powered hydrofoil watercraft can have marked performance advantages over displacement-hull craft, but pose significant engineering challenges. The focus of this hydrofoil independent research project was two-fold. First of all, a general vehicle configuration was developed. Secondly, a thorough optimization process was developed for designing lifting foils that are highly efficient over a wide range of speeds. Given a well-defined set of design specifications, such as vehicle weight and desired top speed, an optimal horizontal, non-surface- piercing wing can be engineered. Design variables include foil span, area, planform shape, and airfoil cross section. The optimization begins with analytical expressions of hydrodynamic characteristics such as lift, profile drag, induced drag, surface wave drag, and interference drag. Research of optimization processes developed in the past illuminated instances in which coefficients of lift and drag were assumed to be constant. These shortcuts, made presumably for the sake of simplicity, lead to grossly erroneous regions of calculated drag. The optimization process developed for this study more accurately computes profile drag forces by making use of a variable coefficient of drag which, was found to be a function of the characteristic Reynolds number, required coefficient of lift, and airfoil section. At the desired cruising speed, total drag is minimized while lift is maximized. Next, a strength and rigidity analysis of the foil eliminates designs for which the hydrodynamic parameters produce structurally unsound wings. Incorporating constraints on minimum takeoff speed and power required to stay foil-borne isolates a set of optimized design parameters.

  • Podiform Chromite at Voskhod, Kazakhstan
    PODIFORM CHROMITE AT VOSKHOD, KAZAKHSTAN Caroline Johnson Submitter in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Ph.D. November, 2012 Somewhat unconventionally, this thesis is for me. Caroline Johnson “I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.” Douglas Adams (1952-2001) Abstract The Voskhod podiform chromitite is one of more than 30 chromitite deposits that collectively form the Main Ore Field (MOF) within the Kempirsai Massif, in Kazakhstan. The MOF is the largest podiform chromitite ore-field in the world. The Voskhod deposit, encased in a serpentinised dunite halo, is situated within harzburgite units that comprise the mantle sequence of the Kempirsai ophiolite. This study arose from a unique opportunity to work on drill core samples through an un-mined podiform chromite deposit and investigate its internal structure, composition and genesis. The 18Mt ore-body has a strike of 600 m, is 170 m to 360 m wide and has an average thickness of 39 m. It has an immediate dunite halo between 1 m and 5 m thick. The ore body is made up of multiple stacked chromitite layers. Mineralised layers are separated by barren dunite or by weakly disseminated dunite lenses ranging from <1 m to 50 m. The style of mineralization varies throughout the ore body; the central region is dominated by thick (>5 – 45 m) units of massive chromite (>80% chromite), with progression towards the south west disseminated chromite (10 – 40% chromite) becomes increasingly abundant. Drill core logging and cross- section profiling of the internal structure of the ore body has identified an intricately connected network of what appear to be chromite-filled channel-ways.

  • UK Military Hovercraft Trials Units
    Appendix 1 UK Military Hovercraft Trials Units Background When Christopher Cockerell was seeking support for the development of the hovercraft principle, it was the intervention of the late Earl Mountbatten that was of signifi cant help. With his background in Amphibious Warfare, he immediately saw the potential for this new concept, so much so that it was initially classifi ed as Top Secret. Eventually, the Saunders Roe, SR.N1, was built and launched on 11 June 1959 to further evaluate the potential of the concept. This new vehicle attracted great pub- licity and interest in the UK. Military interest led to the formation of an Interservice Hovercraft Working Party in 1961 and the formation of the Interservice Hovercraft (Trials) Unit (IHTU) at HMS Ariel (later HMS Daedalus), at Lee-on-the-Solent just west of Portsmouth harbour. IHTU personnel were drawn from the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Royal Air Force and the Army. The different Service backgrounds and training assisted both in routine maintenance and fault fi nding on these special craft. Additionally, after the traditional 3-year tour, personnel were drafted to active units and able to spread the message about the usefulness of amphibious hovercraft. Figure A1.1 shows the Unit in the NHTU days with SR.N6, BH 7 and VT 2 craft present. The Early Days In order to evaluate hovercraft military potential, to start with craft were hired from their manufacturers and operated from Lee-on-the-Solent. These evaluations served the double purpose of enabling Service personnel to gain experience of hovercraft operations and assisting manufacturers in the development of their craft.
