Description:
Model 5415 was
conceived as a preliminary design for a Navy surface combatant ca. 1980. The hull
geometry includes both a sonar dome and transom stern. Propulsion is provided
through twin open-water propellers driven by shafts supported by struts.
There is a large EFD database for Model 5415 due to a current international
collaborative study on EFD/CFD and uncertainty assessment between Iowa Institute of
Hydraulic Research (IIHR), Istituto Nazionale per Studi ed Esperienze di Architettura
Navale (INSEAN), and the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (NSWC, formerly
DTMB). The validation data includes boundary layer and wake, longitudinal wave
cuts, bow and transom wave fields, and wave breaking. Links and references to
available documentaion can be found in the Links and References. No full-scale data
and/or ship exist. |
