Introduction To High Speed Crafts

This document discusses high speed crafts and defines them as crafts capable of reaching speeds that exceed a calculated maximum based on their displacement volume. It describes how high speed crafts are generally defined by their Froude number and operate either as semi-displacement vessels or planing vessels. The document also summarizes different types of high speed crafts like air cushion vehicles, surface effect ships, hydrofoil vessels, and multihull vessels. It covers various design considerations for high speed crafts like resistance, propulsion, seakeeping, and stability.

High Speed Crafts

What is High Speed Craft?


High-speed craft is a craft capable of a
maximum speed in meters per second (m/s)
equal to or exceeding:

Vmax = 3.7 0.1667


where:
= displacement volume corresponding to the
design waterline (m3).

High Speed Craft


A high-speed vessel is generally defined as
crafts operating with Froude number (Fn)
larger than about 0.5.
Generally speaking, the buoyancy force
dominates relative to the hydrodynamic force
effect when Fn is less than approximately 0.5.
When Fn>1.0, the hydrodynamic force mainly
carries the weight, and the vessel is called a
planing vessel.

Semi-displacement Vessel
In general, vessels operating with maximum
speed in the range

0.5 < Fn < 1.0


are called semi-displacement vessels

Spray Rails
A way to improve the lack of lift production
associated with a deep V-shape is to add spray
rails along the hull. When water flows
sidewards it is forced to turn downwards by
the rail and creates a lift force.
The flow generally runs sidewards along the
forebody and more parallel towards the keel.
For this reason, spray rails may be cut towards
the stern as they will increase resistance.

Spray Rails
Spray rails should be used conservatively since if high lift is
developed when the forebody hits the waves, large
accelerations may occur and reduce the positive effect of the
V-shape.
