Abstract:In this study, simulations and experiments were conducted on reducing the heave and pitch motions of a catamaran. To serve as stability appendages, an actively controlled T-foil and flap were designed, including their dimensions and installation position on the catamaran. Based on the uncoupled analysis of the appendages, the following control strategies were adopted: the previously proposed resultant force and moment distribution with feedback by displacement (RFMD-D) and the newly developed resultant force a… Show more
