  • Variant on a traditional yacht Velocity prediction program
  • Calculates all Aerodynamic and Hydrodynamic forces
  • Resolves force vectors and moments around ship axis
  • Balances forces so accelerations are zero
  • 4 DOF solution – (Surge), Sway, Roll, Yaw

WASPP: Background

SLIDE 3
  • Developed in C# using .NET

Framework 4.5

  • Currently compiled for windows only
  • Possible to use Mono for OSX /

Linux

WASPP: Development Background

  • Full GUI
  • Some functionality also exposed

to .dll interface to link with external programs

SLIDE 4
  • Driving force – Drag = 0
  • Heeling moment – Righting moment = 0
  • Aero side force – Hydro side force = 0
  • Aero yaw force – Hydro yaw force = 0
  • Pitch?
  • Heave?
  • Would require full LPP to recalculate hullform

parameters at each condition

  • Could be simplified and approximated with change

in Sc

  • Effects too small to consider

  • Hull
  • Calm water Upright Resistance

– Holtrop 1984 – Holtrop & Mennen 1982 – Resistance curve input

  • Added resistance in waves

– Modified Kwons Method - Lu 2014 – Resistance polar input

  • Added resistance due to wind

– Blendermann 1996 – Fujiwara 2006

  • Added Resistance due to Heel

– Approximation based on changing wetted surface area

  • Sideforce & Added resistance due to Yaw

– Journee & Clarke 2005 – Fujiwara 2006 – Shentzle 1985, Kuttenkueler 2007

  • Rudder

– Assumed NACA 0018 section – Fujiwara et al 2005

  • Propeller

– Wageningen B-series

  • Can accept direct dimensional inputs
  • …or if needed it can also create an

assumed ‘ideal’ sailplan.

  • Traditionally sailing yachts make use of two

principle methods for initial sizing of sailplans.

– Stability at large heel angles – Sail Area/Displacement and Sail Area/Wetted Surface Area.

  • Polynomial fit from database of ~100 sailing

yachts >50m

  • Modified based on wind assist assumptions
  • Verified against known vessels
