Numerical Solution of Planing-Body problems.
Abstract
A finite-difference scheme is used for the solution of two-dimensional unsteady planing-body problems. The shape and location of the body are specified and the time-dependent wetted length is computed. Results are presented for a wedge-shaped hull with a sharp trailing edge and for a smooth hull. They demonstrate the potential of the method for further application to ship hydrodynamics problems in which it is necessary to estimate the wetted length as well as the location of points of flow attachment and separation for ships in free surface.
