Multiobjective Control of Flaps and T-foil in High-speed Ships
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fast sea transportation of passengers must considered safety and comfort requirements. Due to waves, there are heaving and pitching motions. These motions originate sea-sickness and can have negative effects on the ship. By means of submerged actuators, vertical motions can be smoothed. This paper considers the real case of a fast ferry with a T-foil and flaps. This is a control problem that also has to consider cavitation and possible fatigue of the actuators' system. In consequence there is a multiobjective optimization problem, controlling a non-linear system. A Multiobjective Genetic Algorithm is designed and applied to the case. The research obtains satisfactory results. Copyright©2002 IFAC.

Frequency Domain Study of Longitudinal Motion Attenuation of a Fast Ferry Using a T-Foil
Longitudinal, heave and pitch, motion of ships in response to encountered waves can be smoothed using moving submerged wings, like transom flaps or a T-foil under the bow. Recently a 3 DOF detailed model of the surge, pitch and heave motions of a fast ferry has been developed, in terms of a structure of twelve transfer functions. On the basis of this model the most effective control for motion ...
متن کاملOverview of a Research on Actuators Control for Better Seakeeping in Fast Ships
The paper is an overview of a research initiated seven years ago by three groups of three universities, under the auspices of a Spanish shipbuilder. The research aims to improve the seakeeping performances of fast ferries, by using moving appendages such transom flaps and T-foil. There is a problem of control design to move the actuators in adequate way, to counteract the effect of encountered ...
متن کاملFoil Application to Reduce Resistance of Catamaran under High Speeds and Different Operating Conditions
Today, researchers exploit hybrid craft more than they used to be. The main reason is that they need to high speed as well as extra portability. For instance, a famous hybrid craft is named Hysucat, was designed through the combination of catamaran and hydrofoil. Catamarans, a type of multihull boats, have always considered by designers because of their simultaneous supply of high speed and sta...
متن کاملMultiobjective Approach to Weather Routing
The paper presents a weather routing solution for sail-assisted ships. Since the route finding optimisation process is a multiobjective one, the emphasis is put on possible application of multiobjective optimisation methods. The paper focuses on two such methods, namely evolutionary algorithms and ranking methods represented by Fuzzy TOPSIS. In addition, a proposed set of optimization criteria ...
