Performing self propelled simulations of a kayak, using a Body-force paddle model
نویسنده
چکیده
Understanding the interactions between a hull and a propeller is a common problem naval architects have to solve to provide efficient powering solutions. The world of elite sport is becoming increasingly scientific in a similar drive for increased performance. To allow a kayak’s hull and paddle to be optimised, their interactions have to be considered to provide a realistic race scenario. It is therefore proposed that numerical techniques currently used by naval architects could be applied to the problem of a self propelled kayak.

متن کاملIncompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations on free surface flows
The water wave generation by wave paddle and a freely falling rigid body are examined by using an Incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (ISPH). In the current ISPH method, the pressure was evaluated by solving pressure Poisson equation using a semi-implicit algorithm based on the projection scheme and the source term of pressure Poisson equation contains both of divergence free ve...
متن کاملSimulating a Self-propelled Submerged Body in a Coastal Ocean Hindcast Using the NRL-MIT Nonhydrostatic Model
Simulations of self-propelled submerged bodies have been conducted in idealized environments with simple environmental geometries and stratifications. The focus of those simulations was on improving the submarine performance, including reduced drag, less vortex production, improved maneuverability and greater speed. Thus, many of the simulations focused on the near field and on complex, realist...
متن کاملThe metabolic demands of kayaking: a review.
Flat-water kayaking is one of the best-known competitive canoeing disciplines in Australia and across the European countries. From a stationary start, paddlers are required to paddle their kayaks with maximal effort along the length of the competing distance. The ultimate criterion of kayak performance is the time taken to paddle a designated competition distance. In flat-water racing, events a...
