    The two LCS designs had completely different problems - one had a catastrophically faulty gearbox and the other had a too thin hull plate at the hull midline that fractured. Neither was easily detected at model scale (because the ship models aren’t powered and the hull stress was under estimated. The fact that the LCS ships were actually too small for the way the U.S. Navy actually used them isn’t something a model can tell you.

    I work at the Utah Water Research Laboratory and we often make models of dams (such as the Oroville Dam spillway that failed in 2017, before I started working there), canals, gates, and other water structures, and we use the Froude number in our models. We definitely also have number crunching that happens that accounts for a whole host of things that happen, and being able to have the video recording is very helpful. Basically, we make models so that clients can make informed decisions. Our work can help them save a lot, by spending 5 on a new model saving 85 that would have been spent making the full scale cause the alternate design is way better than the original idea

    I grew up near Southampton and the river Hamble. A lot of maritime proficiency examination takes place in the region including piloting great cargo ships and tankers. On a lake at Warsash (famous for its D-Day role) student pilots sit cramped into miniature model tankers and learn manoeuvring skills. Almost like kids in pedal cars. It’s now run by Solent University. I guess they use simulators now rather than analogue model boats. At the time it was called Warsash Maritime Academy.

    Self propulsion tests rarely have the model propel itself fully and are most commonly used to verify the propulsion method (propeller pitch angle and rpm for example) There are multipliers calculated to find out to what degree a given model propels itself for a given propulsor, speed and scale. The carriage then still pushes on the model. Latest test we ran the model produced about 50% of it's own propulsion.

    What is the formula for reducing mass on the model then? Say you had a 1:50 model, if you reduced it's weight down there must be a formula because you can't reduce down the density of water or the gravity.

  • @vibratingstring

    Mass scales with cube of length. All three Dims scale togther. In 50:1 you would have ratio 125000:1 but that's a probblematic model for accuracy. It's a problem: larger models give better results. We use 30 foot models to work with 500 foot ships. That is as small as we can go to get good results. And, you have to scale the moment of inertia on all three axes correctly as well. Then, because viscous effects scale doesn't work with the gravity scaling, you have to compute viscous drag and subtract it from results, then compute at higher Reynolds number of ship and add back in. To make that a bit easier, often turbulence inducers are glued to fwd part of model so that drag calculations are more reliable. Boundary layer stuff is what ultimately we have no solid theory for. But even the waves arnot fully theoretically covered: CFD does not precisely match

    Science teachers and students. My Admin used to give me the science equipment catalogues so I could see all the things he would never allow us to buy. They had a square 'wave tank' less than a meter on each side and about 20 cm deep. $2200. Using old plywood I made a long narrow box. Two tricks made it work. I lined it with 5 mill construction plastic - this made it water proof. (just draped it, a few spring clips.) Simple. The second trick was at one end I made a long sloped wedge, 'the beach'. This was under the plastic. Works great. The beach does a couple of things. It absorbs the waves so the tank just doesn't become a sloshing mess. To make surface waves (most common) just move the top few cms of water at the other end of tank. To make deep tsunami waves just lift the plastic up a bit, so the bottom comes up, at that end. Richard Feynman said that using water waves to model electromagnetic waves doesn't work because water waves are every bit as complex as EM Radiation. True. However, you can see water moving. So a wave tank can do a lot of what the big tank in the video can do. What's neat is the tsunami waves are little ripples until they reach the beach, then they slow down, pile up and can splash right out the other end of the flume. Surface waves are bigger, noticeably slower. They run up the beach and lose their energy. The last tank I made was about 30cm deep, 7 meters long and about 50cm wide. Students actually had crested waves breaking on the beach. Hamsters could've surfed them. The tsunamis? They moved quicker, but were small until they climbed up the beach and blasted over the side (into the school garden.) That admin there wasn't as bad as the first guy. She came out glanced at the tank and said, "Don't make too much noise." The physics teacher at that school never even looked at it. What would make a fun naval engineering project would be to figure out how each century would've redesigned their ships if they'd used a wave tank. The 14th through mid 19th century ships would all quickly look very different. The one craft that I don't think would've changed? The Aleut Iqyax (aka baidarka). If you look at the stringers on the bottom, there's a big gap between the keelson and the first stringers. This channels the water giving the iqyax lift right where the paddler sits. I built an iqyax to do attempt this, but along the way I realized to get the 10 knots Captain Cook's navigator reported, I'd have to be able to paddle at least 6 to 8 knots. I was good able to sustain 4.3 knots, but not even close.

    The problem is: you can make a smaller scale model of an object, but you can not shrink the water molecules accordingly. I'm not sure how accurate to the real thing the effects on the scale model are...

    0:23 LOL that's not a boat design, no need to fire the designer. That's most likely a sensor that tests resonance frequency in the pitch direction of a generic planing hull.

    The tanks is superior to computer modeling because with only minor alteration for the scale of the model to the water you can model far more particles IRL than any computer can handle. If you think on it, a scale models fluid dynamics are always going to be different than full scale because you cannot scale the water or air (whichever is applicable to the model) in other words a model airplane that is 1/8th scale still flies through full scale air so adjustments have to made to account for this, which is why a 1/8th scale P-51 does not fly like a full scale P-51 unless you play around with its mass and airfoil to account for the difference in air density. The same happens with the model ships in water (air and water are both fluids for this purpose) where they can account for the different density with tweaks to the results in the testing. The problem in computer modeling vs scale model testing is the scale model still uses a water molecule as the particle size to measure the fluid movement while a computer model particle size is going to be many magnitudes larger to have manageable calculation time scales. The particle size of the water is what makes the computer model less accurate. Once a computer can model each and every water molecule it will be as good as a scale test, or even better if it can model enough molecules to model the full size vessel without scaling the result. Today even modeling the flow around a propeller like you would put on an outboard motor only gives you an idea of how it will perform IRL, and always leads to someone actually building and testing a prototype before it would go into full production.
