    Hydrofoil "Hull "

    A hydrofoil is a wing-like structure mounted below a boat's hull that lifts the boat partially out of the water during motion to reduce drag. There is no actual hull on a hydrofoil boat - it grazes the water's surface at high speeds due to powerful propulsion and hydrofoil struts angled for lift. Hydrofoils combine the lift of hydrofoil wings with additional lift from planing to gain advantages of both technologies. A challenge is pitch instability as both hydrofoils and hull can increase lift when the bow pitches up, causing an oscillating cycle. A stepped hull design confines planing lift to reduce pitch instability. Hybrid hydrofoils can be propelled through hull-mounted components like jets

    HYDROFOIL “HULL”

    BASICS & EXTREMES


    HYDROFOIL INTRO
    • A hydrofoil is a wing-like structure
    mounted on struts below the hull of a
    boat, which lifts the boat partially out of
    the water during forward motion, in
    order to reduce drag.
    THE “HULL”
    • There is no hull in the hydrofoils, its just
    that it just grazes over the water surface
    at blinding speeds due to the less
    displacement & the t-shaped and the v-
    shaped struts. Its just that the engine
    propulsion is high and the angle of
    attack is changed considering the
    situation, that enables the hydrofoils to
    whizz past at 80 knots.
    CONCEPT
     Hydrofoil is a vehicle combining the
    dynamic lift of hydrofoils with a significant
    amount of lift from some other source,
    generally planing lift. The traction of
    hydrofoils is the desire to meld the
    advantages of two technologies in an
    attempt to gain a synthesis that is
    better than either one alone. Partially
    hydrofoil supported hulls mix hydrofoil
    support and planing lift.
    PITCH INSTABILITY

    Pitch instability is the chief issue in a hybrid hydrofoil. Planing hybrid


    hydrofoils can exhibit a dynamic pitch instability similar to


    porpoising. This phenomenon can be best understood for a
    nominal configuration with a single hydrofoil beneath the center of
    gravity of a planing hull. If such a configuration is slightly
    disturbed bow up from an equilibrium position, the lift on both the
    foil and the hull will increase. The hull accelerates upwards and
    the intersection of the water surface and the keel moves aft. This
    develops a bow down moment, but at a relatively slow rate. By the
    time the bow drops enough to reduce the excess lift, the vessel is
    well above the equilibrium position, and the keel V waterline
    intersection is well aft. It falls back down toward the equilibrium
    position bow down, as if it had tripped on its stem. Then, it carries
    through equilibrium, takes a deep dive and springs up again. This
    cycle repeats, each time growing more severe. The only way that
    this motion can damped is if the hull provides enough damping to
    prevent the increasing overshoot. Note that this is a smooth water
    instability and occurs with only a nominal initial disturbance.
    STEPPED HULL CONCEPT
     The foil is at the extreme stern of the vehicle
    and a step is provided forward of the CG.
    The step confines the planing lift to the
    forward part of the hull so that the relative
    position of the center of gravity, the step
    and the foil control the proportioning of lift
    between hull and foil. Bow up pitch of the
    vehicle produces a strong bow down
    moment, directly proportional to pitch, that
    reduces the pitch much more rapidly than
    the movement of the center of planing lift.
    The step also means that the running
    attitude of the planing hull can be set at a
    trim producing optimum lift. (This is the
    whole point of a stepped planing hull.)
    PROPULSION
     Getting the force into the water often requires passing it
    through the struts which is costly in terms of money,
    appendage drag, complexity and efficiency. Hydrofoils use
    mechanical, electric and hydraulic drives to props on foil
    pods, jets taking suction through the foil, and shafts from
    the hull. Each of these methods has problems. There is
    some consolation that the struts of a hybrid are somewhat
    shorter, but this is only important for through-strut jet
    drives, and jet drives require higher flow rates for efficiency
    at the lower speeds of a hybrid. However, unlike a pure
    hydrofoil, a hybrid can be propelled by hull mounted
    components. A jet drive could be mounted in the forward
    planing hull and discharge at the step. A prop shaft could
    penetrate through the step as well or surface piercing props
    could be mounted on or below the raised tail and dip down
    to the water. This gives some added versatility to the hybrid
    concept that a pure hydrofoil doesn't have.
