Daniel Savitsky created the first practical method of determining with reasonable precision, the lift, the drag and the dynamic equilibrium of planing hulls. His Method was developed in 1964 and has had several updates and contributions and it is still widely used by desiners to develop boats of this type. However, a method developed by Richard Schachter, from the Federal University from Rio de Janeiro, has proved to be very interesting for the design of planing hulls. " The method is based on Savitsky'smethod (1964) it is named "Virtual Prismatic Hulls Method", allowing for the determination of the intensity of the lift force and the resulting center od pressure, in order to determine the dynamic equilibrium position and the drag force, at the fully developed planing regime, for any arbitrary, non-prismatic hard chine hul form" - Ocean Engineering 115 (2016) 6792. Therefore, I have been started to design a Ferry Boat using this recent method in order to take account the variation in the deadrise.

Hydrofoils in boats might be an older invention than you think, but what do they have in common with telephones? Did you know that Alexander Graham Bell, renowned for inventing the telephone, was also the mastermind behind one of the world's first hydrofoil boat? 📞⛵ Back in the late 19th century, Bell developed and tested a series of hydrofoil prototypes that soared above the water's surface, significantly reducing drag and increasing speed. 🚀🌊 His revolutionary designs laid the foundation for modern hydrofoil vessels, inspiring generations of engineers to push the boundaries of naval architecture. 🏗️⚙️ Today, as we tackle the challenges of sustainability, efficiency, and environmental impact in the maritime industry, Bell's legacy reminds us to think beyond convention and embrace innovation fearlessly. 🌱💡 Image borrowed from: https://lnkd.in/gG_iQv2u %========================= ✏️ I am a marine engineer 🔵  I specialize in system design, analysis and integration.

#ServiceHighlight: Mooring Analysis Art Anderson is frequently called-upon to prepare analyses and designs for floating infrastructure moorage and anchoring systems. A mooring is any temporary mechanism to which a seaborne vessel may be secured. Mooring Analysis computes static and dynamic environmental loads, corresponding displacements and motions of the vessel and static and dynamic mooring tensions. The purpose of the analysis is to accurately predict the loads on mooring lines and anchors at the most extreme design conditions. Art Anderson’s team of Naval Architects looks at environmental loads, geographical layout and even reservoir characteristics to keep barges, vessels, and floating structures secure. We employ tools like Orcaflex to optimize and develop designs that ensure safe and effective mooring. In Orcaflex, we can also include the actual bathymetry of the mooring location for a precise mooring scenario. . . . #Mooringanalysis #Mooring #Navarch #NavalArchitecture #AAA #ArtAnderson #ArtAndersonAssociates #StaticAnalysis #DynamicAnalysis #StaticLoads #EnvironmentalLoads #analysis #OrcaFlex #Bathymetry #Instadaily #InstaPhotooftheDay #STEM
