Calculation of the resistance and trim of highspeed boat at planning regime is a complex hydrodynamic problem. At the planning regime, with the aid of lifting force, the boat is lifted over the water surface with high trim angle. Many methods have been applied to calculate the resistance and the trim of the high-speed boat at this planning regime. This paper will study the two typical methods, the first one is empirical method by Savitsky [1] and the second one is the computational fluid dynamic method (CFD). The calculation results of two methods are compared with experimental results.

Abstract With the onset of high-speed passenger train service in the United States, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and railroad agencies are concerned with the aerodynamic effects these trains will have on lightweight freight equipment, such as empty double stack container cars. This paper presents the results of a research project that evaluated this interaction. In this study we conducted a series of computational fluid dynamic (CDF) calculations to characterize the aerodynamic loads on a container consist passed by a high-speed train. A train motion simulation program was used to determine resultant motion and risk of overturning or derailment of the container consist. Numerous cases were studied in which train speed and wind speed and direction were varied.

Water-lubricated bearings have attracted increasing attention in the field of high-speed machine tools for their low friction due to low viscosity. However, new problems, in particular, insufficient load capacity, are on the way. To the point, groove-textured journal bearing is adopted in this study. Aiming at investigating the effects of groove texture on high speed, water-lubricated, hydrodynamic journal bearing precisely, and thoroughly, three-dimensional computational fluid dynamic analyses considering cavitation and turbulence are undertaken to assess the tribological performances of the bearing. To reduce the amount of three-dimensional modeling and meshing work, mesh deformation is presented. The numerical results are compared with experiments to verify the validity of the present models and calculation procedures. Pressure distribution, load capacity, and friction of groove-textured water-lubricated journal bearing are analyzed with respect to operating conditions and geometric parameters. Comparisons between groove-textured water-lubricated journal bearing and smooth bearing are carried out to find out the influence of groove texture. It is found that the groove texture can achieve a remarkable improvement of load capacity at a smaller eccentricity ratio and higher rotary speed. The load capacity is affected by the combined effects of groove depth, width, and length. However, generally, the friction force of water-lubricated journal bearing is slightly influenced by groove texture. Results can provide theoretical guidance for the optimal design of groove-textured water-lubricated journal bearing under different operating parameters.
