Speed/Power Analysis
|
"How fast will it go?" The Orca3D Speed/Power Analysis module
has two different prediction methods: the
Savitsky method to predict the speed/power curve for chine hulls, and the
Holtrop method to predict the speed/power for displacement hulls. We have
integrated the HydroComp Drag
Prediction Library, to ensure reliable, accurate results.

Most of the required input parameters are automatically computed from your
model, although the user can input or override the values. Results are quickly
generated and professionally formatted, and include checks to ensure the
validity of the results. Any parameters that are outside of the ranges of the
prediction method are flagged.

In addition to predicting the performance, the analysis gives insight into
how to improve the performance, with a Drag Reduction Analysis. Four key
parameter are evaluated, and recommendations given on adjustments to optimize
your design; Planing Beam, Deadrise Angle, LCG location, and Shaft Angle. |
