Seakeeping performance of a planing boat should be sufficiently considered and evaluated at the design stage for its safe running in rough seas. Model tests in seakeeping model basins are often performed to predict the performance of full-scale planing boats. But, there are many limitations of tank size and wave maker capacity, in particular, for fast small planing boats due to small scale ratio and high Froude numbers of their scale models. In this research, scale model tests are tried in various test conditions, and results are summarized and analyzed to predict a 3 ton-class fast small planing boats designed. In a long and narrow tank, towing tests for a bare hull model are performed with regular head waves and long crested irregular head waves. Motion RAOs are derived from irregular wave tests, and they are in good agreements with RAOs in regular waves. Next, model ships with one water-jet propulsion system are built, and free running model tests are performed in ocean basins. Wave conditions such as significant heights, modal periods, and directions are varied for the free running tests. Motion RMS values, and RAOs are obtained through statistical approaches. They are compared with the results in captive tests for the bare hull model, and are used to predict the full-scale boat performances.

Rotor Model

A power-generating unit with the high-temperature helium reactor (GT-MHR) has a turbomachine (TM) that is intended for both conversion of coolant thermal energy into electric power in the direct gas-turbine cycle, and provision of helium circulation in the primary circuit. The vertically oriented TM is placed in the central area of the power conversion unit (PCU). TM consists of a turbocompressor (TC) and a generator. Their rotors are joined with a diaphragm coupling and supported by electro-magnetic bearings (EMB). The complexity and novelty of the task of the full electromagnetic suspension system development requires thorough stepwise experimental work, from small-scale physical models to full-scale specimen. On this purpose, the following is planned within the framework of the GT-MHR Project: investigations of the “flexible” rotor small-scale mockup with electro-magnetic bearings (“Minimockup” test facility); tests of the radial EMB; tests of the position sensors; tests of the TM rotor scale model; tests of the TM catcher bearings (CB) friction pairs; tests of the CB mockups; tests of EMB and CB pilot samples and investigation of the full-scale electromagnetic suspension system as a part of full-scale turbocompressor tests. The rotor scale model (RSM) tests aim at investigation of dynamics of rotor supported by electromagnetic bearings to validate GT-MHR turbomachine serviceability. Like the full-scale turbomachine rotor, the RSM consist of two parts: the generator rotor model and the turbocompressor rotor model that are joined with a coupling. Both flexible and rigid coupling options are tested. Each rotor is supported by one axial and two radial EMBs. The rotor is arranged vertically. The RSM rotor length is 10.54 m, and mass is 1171 kg. The designs of physical model elements, namely of the turbine, compressors, generator and exciter, are simplified and performed with account of rigid characteristics, which are identical to those of the full-scale turbomachine elements.

The dike in Den Oever has to be improved. To keep the dike as low as possible and to make it suitable for other uses, the choice was made to install a stepped revetment on the sea side. In order to determine the design wave loading, scale model tests and tests at full scale were performed. The comparison shows that loads, as a result of model and scale effects and by averaging the sensor signals, could be decreased by a factor 4 relative to the scale model tests.
