CONTROL OF DYNAMIC TRIM FOR PLANING VESSELS WITH INTERCEPTORS IN TERMS OF COMFORT AND MINIMUM DRAG

Nowadays, interceptors are often used to decrease total resistance and enhance comfort by reducing dynamic trim for high-speed planing vessels. They can be controlled manually as well automatically using a suitable closed-loop control system. Thus, in the present study, an controllable system is presented minimize calm water. To reach this aim, mathematical model which represent 2 degree of freedom vertical motion prismatic vessel presented. The coefficients calculated Savitsky method. standard angle optimum ones terms same For action, linear full state feedback strategy (linear quadratic regulator) applied, instantaneous blade heights found considering change forward speed. Therefore, control-oriented able height different speeds speed profiles. results show that designed regulator successful reference tracking problems.
