An extensive experimental effort was undertaken to document the performance of a low-aspect ratio hydrofoil with trailing edge blowing across a Coanda surface in a large water tunnel facility. This facility was the William B. Morgan Large Cavitation Channel in Memphis, TN. The hydrofoil model with a taper ratio of 0.76 was mounted through a load balance. A reflection plane provided for an effective aspect ratio of 2. The dual-slot ...
The DDG5l pre-contract hull form as represented by Model 5514 was evaluated for capsize events at End of Service Life Load Limit for the Righting Arm Limiting and In tact 100 Knot Wind Limiting KG Conditions. The results are compared to FREDYN 9.3 predictions, and results from previous Model 5514 capsize experiments. Results are also presented for a limited number of calm water maneuvering and irregular wave test. The results ...
