    HYDROMECHANICS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF SPRINT CANOES FOR THE OLYMPIC GAMES 1 Tomasz J. Bugalski 1 Ship Hydromechanics Division, Ship Design and Research Centre S.A., PL-80-392 Szczecinska 65, Gdansk, Poland, [email protected] ABSTRACT The current paper focuses on evolution of hull form of sprint canoes from the Olympic Games in Berlin (1936) to the Olympic Games in Beijing (2008) and the influence of hydrodynamics aspects on design of sprint canoes. The paper describes the process of the Olympic canoes design and optimization, carried out by the Ship Design and Research Centre (CTO, CTO S.A.) in Gdansk and the Plastex Composite PPH (Plastex) in Warsaw –the renowned manufacturer of sport boats. The existing canoes (used as a starting point) and the newly designed ones were analysed with the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods, simplified potential methods and tested experimentally. The paper concludes the final results during Olympic Games competitions. HYDRODYNAMICS OF SPRINT CANOES AS A SEMI –DISPLACEMENT SHIPS The canoes sprint started to exist on the Olympic Games program in Berlin in 1936. The kayaks and sprint canoes shapes were changing and those changes could be divided to three periods – eras: • In the first period there were formed the regulations and principles from the ICF formation to the Olympic games in London in 1948. • The era of boats which were made of the wooden plywood, which also could be named Samson’s because of the name of main designer. • In the third period slender boats were made on the base of carbon-fibre composites.

    ICF CANOE MARATHON WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS BULLETIN No. 1. GYŐR, HUNGARY 11-13 SEPTEMBER, 2015 GREETINGS FROM THE MAYOR Győr has always been home to the training of sport icons: lots of champions have started their sports career or arrived to the top of it here. In the „City of Rivers” kayak and canoe competitors of Győr representing the most successful sport branch of Hungary have several times achieved smashing victories and classified very well in prestigious competitions. Upbringing of youth teams has always been a priority to Győr, so development in sportslife is unbroken here. Probably it is not just a pure coincidence that Győr can be home to such an important event in the kayak and canoeing sport for the third time, and also host to the first paracanoe competitions. I hope that our Guests will have time to discover the beauties of our City and have some days full of sports events and wonderful experiences. Zsolt Borkai Mayor BEFORE BREAKTHROUGH In 2015 the marathon canoe racing returns to Győr, the town of waters, where after 1999 and 2007 we can host the world championships in this discipline exceptionally already for the third time. The Hungarian canoe sport at the peak of its success is getting ready for the big shot, as we wish to organise the best ever marathon race in September, which marvels the whole world. The county seat of West Hungary really has excellent water features, the races run almost through the downtown area. And Győr is moreover a real sport town, where great many fans know and follow the events of the canoe sport and where full support is given to such big-scale events.
