Abstract

More than a year has passed since Francisco Pérez-Arribas (2023) introduced a parametric-based hull design method using Python scripts, beginning with the cross-sectional area (CSA) design. Several experimental studies have been carried out to improve the method and the quality of ship design. This study aims to generate an optimal hull design by utilizing normal vectors derived from the x and y vectors. These normal vectors are applied parametrically to determine the shape of the hull. The study also employs a cubic spline-based parametric technique for designing yacht hulls. The purpose of this study is to introduce the concept of parametric design through the development of visual programming used to form cross-sectional area curves and generate hull geometry. This study also discusses both the advantages and limitations of using visual programming approaches to accelerate the design process. By varying the CSA shape of the DelftShip model, the resulting parametric model has a high level of accuracy, with a difference of - 0.097016% in LCB and -0.28785% in volume when compared to the DelftShip model. results from Grasshopper reveal significant differences, particularly below a draft of 0.475, where the CP values from Grasshopper are lower than those from DelftShip. The parametric approach using normal vectors not only facilitates design exploration but also holds the potential to enhance overall hull design quality and optimization.

Abstract

The application of waterjet propulsion systems in amphibious combat vehicles, such as the KAPA Type K-61 used by the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) for transporting artillery munitions, is crucial for enhancing operational performance. The working principle of a waterjet involves drawing water from beneath the vehicle's hull, accelerating it through a pump, and expelling it to generate thrust. The design of the waterjet propulsion system significantly impacts the thrust produced. This study aims to evaluate the maximum performance achievable by the waterjet propulsion system of the KAPA Type K-61. The analysis is conducted using various Index Velocity Ratio (IVR) values, including IVR 0.28, which represents the current speed of the KAPA Type K-61, and other variations such as IVR 0.54, 0.59, 0.67, 0.70, 0.78, 0.94, 1.18, 1.64, and 2.38. The analysis results include the thrust value produced at the waterjet outlet, efficiency, and propulsion power. The study found that at an IVR of 2.38, the system produced the highest thrust of 30.72 N, with a propulsion power of 7315.13 Watts, equivalent to 9.95 Horsepower, and the highest efficiency of 99.21%. Based on the research conducted, it is recommended that future studies create a geometric model of the KAPA Type K-61 with original and more detailed dimensions and perform a 1:1 scale analysis to strengthen the obtained results. Additionally, analyzing the waterjet propulsion system along with the impeller or propeller system is also suggested to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the overall propulsion system's performance and efficiency.
