| description | This research aims to evaluate and explore the alternative of water transport varieties.
Sarawak with riverine condition has shown a high potential of airboat application and
development prospect as transportation is essential to bring people closer. This research acts
as a preliminary work that aims to take a fresh look on the Static stability of existing Shallow
Vee hull and follow with the PROLINES simulations for another two types of hull designs,
which are Flat Bottom and Modified hull. Centre gravity (KG), metacentric height (GM) and
metacentre above centre of buoyancy (BM) have shown the major influencing parameters
manipulating the static stability of airboat. Besides that, an airboat with Shallow Vee hull was
made for the stability performance testing in UNIMAS’s pool, and it has given an acceptable
range of testing results. Rpm of propeller, fuel consumption and wind speed have been
measured before hand. Subsequently airboat is operated to measure the average speed and
observed the overall stability during the turning. Naval architecture software, PROLINES is
used for simulation work of different displacement and type of hulls. Simulation results have
evaluated the airboat hydrostatics and statics stability performance. As a result, Flat Bottom
and Modified hull gives merits of static stability compared to Shallow Vee hull. |
