Advanced Appendage Design
When designing high performance marine crafts such as high speed workboats, motor yachts or large offshore patrol vessels, the details are essential. Problems related to sea chest inlets, exhaust outlets or other appendages often lead to a significant increase in project cost and lead time. PROFJORD offers their customers advanced design solutions to ensure performance and secure quality.
Sea Chest Inlet Design
• High speed capacity
• Cavitation free
• Low noise
• Minimum drag
• Minimum wake
• No protruding parts
In 2003 PROFJORD performed an extensive investigation in a pro-ject that required a sea chest that could operate at 70 knots with minimum wake and no cavitation. Optimization was done using unique adopted CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) code and the final design was verified through model tests. The final product was proved to operate outstanding in speeds even exceeding 70 knots. Furthermore it was found that the design could be applied for all high performance water crafts with excellent results. PROFJORD’s sea chests also works well if even when positioned just forward of the waterjet inlets due to the minimum wake generated. Since 2003 PROFJORD have close to 100 sea chest inlet designs in operation and references ranges from high performance sail yachts to ultra-high speed vessels.
e input calculation simulations can be performed in order to determine optimal size and geometry of the sea chest inlet design. As a second step the PROFJORD in-house CFD software is applied to verify the high speed performance.
