Slender Body Of Revolution

A slender body of revolution berthing to a wall is studied by extending the classical slender body theory. This topic is of practical importance for a ship berthing to a quay wall. The flow problem is solved analytically using the method of matched asymptotic expansions. The lateral force and yaw moment on the body are obtained in a closed form too. The translation and yawing of the body are modeled using the second Newton law and coupled with the flow induced. Numerical analyses are performed for the dynamic lateral translation and yawing of a slender spheroid, while its horizontal translation parallel to the wall is prescribed at zero speed, constant speed, and time varying speed, respectively. The analysis reveals the interesting dynamic features of the translation and yawing of the body in terms of the forward speed and starting angle of yaw of the body.

Slender Body Of Revolution

This paper describes an experimental investigation of the initial growth of flow asymmetries over a slender body of revolution at high angles of attack with natural and disturbed noses. Time-resolved particle image velocimetry (PIV) is used to investigate the flow field around the body. Flow visualization clearly shows the formation of the asymmetric vortices. Instantaneous PIV shows that the amplified asymmetric disturbances lead to Kelvin–Helmholtz instability appearing first on one side, which increases the momentum exchange crossing the layer. As a result, the separation region shrinks which creates the initial vortex asymmetry.
