Outline
• Objectives• Modelling• Loch Linnhe Trials• Hull Designs• Simulations• Discussion
Objectives
• Towards an evaluation of use of internal wave wakes in wide area maritime surveillance
• Towards understanding their generation from surface ships– Start with simplest scenario– Surface ship with stationary wake (in ship frame)
• The effect of hull form on the wake
Georgia Strait: ERS1
Modelling
• Layer models– Discrete (e.g. loch, fjord)– Diffuse
• Internal wave wake model– Linearized– Far wake
Loch Linnhe Trials• Trials from 1989 to 1994 in
Scotland• Ship displacements from 100 to
30,000 tonnes• Shallow layer• Ship speeds typically 2 to 4 m/s• Wake angles 10 to 20º• Airborne synthetic aperture radars 20

Wigley Hull• Canoe shaped: Parabolic in 2-D, constant draft• Useful theoretical model but block coefficient is 4/9
Wigley Offsets
Practical Hulls
• Taylor Standard Series– Twin screw cruiser
• David Taylor Model Basin Series 60– Single screw merchant
• National Physical Laboratory– Round bilge, high speed displacement hulls
• Maritime Administration (MARAD) Series– Single screw merchant, shallow water
• British Ship Research Association Series– Single screw merchant

Effect of Hull Model
• In this application:– Minor changes to velocity profile as a function of
hull model– Minor changes to velocity profile as a function of
CB
– Shifts shoulder downwards in plots as CB increases
Olmeda (cf Stapleton, 1997)
Length = 180 mBeam = 26 mDraft = 9.2 m
Speed = 2.2 m/sWake Angle 18º
Layer: h = 3 m, δ = 0.004
Taylor CB=0.7
Conclusions• Simulations are reasonably consistent with
observations• Sir Tristram observed maximum water velocity
at sensor is about 3 cm/s; same as simulations• Olmeda observed maximum velocity at sensor
is about 5 cm/s; same as simulations• Wake determined mainly by block coefficient• Structure in first cycle appears to be similar in
observations and simulations
