본 연구에서는 18미터급 쌍동형 선형의 선수벌브 유무에 따른 운동응답특성을 선형 스트립이론에 기초한 상용코드(Seakeeper)를 이용하여 추정하였다. 계산조건으로는 ITTC 파스펙트럼에 기초한 뷰포트 풍력계급 3 (T=2.98s, H1/3 =0.6m), 4 (T=3.85s, H1/3 =1m) 및 5 (T=5.44, H1/3 =2m)의 파스펙트럼을 산출하였고, 조우각은 선수파, 선수사파 및 횡파를 적용하여 종동요의 선체운동응답스펙트럼을 해석하였다. 선수벌브가 적용된 쌍동선 선형은 선수파와 선수사파에서 최대 20%의 종동요 응답이 감소하는 효과를 나타냈다.
In this study, a commercial seakeeping program Seakeeper, integrated into Maxsurf, which is based on the linear strip theory was employed to compare the effect of bulbous bow (with/without) on motion response characteristics in a 18-meter catamaran. The seakeeping analyses were conducted at several Beaufort wind conditions such as scale No. 3 (T=2.98s, H1/3 =0.6m), No. 4 (T=3.85s, H1/3 =1m) and No. 5 (T=5.44, H1/3 =2m) based on ITTC wave spectrum. Pitch motion response spectrum was calculated at Head sea, Head & bow sea and Beam sea as encounter angles. Hull form of a catamaran with bulb showed the maximum 20% decrease of pitch motion response as compared to that of hull form without bulb.
