Abstract:In this paper an open-source implementation of the vortex-lattice method to perform a dynamic stability analysis for hydrofoil crafts is discussed. The difference with existing vortex-lattice codes is the addition of a free-surface boundary condition which is needed to analyse surface piercing foils. This code, called Typhoon, can be used to perform a dynamic stability analysis (DSA) on hydrofoil vessels. The goal of this code is to have an easy-to-use and cheap alternative to compare different designs in earl… Show more
