Abstract

During preliminary stages of boat design, decisions on boat properties are made only with little knowledge on boat hull geometry – a boat designer has only the basis dimensions at his disposal. Therefore on these initial stages of boat design, methods of calculation of boat properties (e.g. resistance) on the basis of basic design criteria are indispensable. The main objective of this thesis was designing a wind turbine integrated propelled boat. This means energy extracted from wind is converted into electrical energy that can stored in the capacitor. This stored energy is used to drive the motor that is attached to the propeller of the boat or the shaft of water jet pump. The useful components of this boat are wind turbine, generator, Battery, Propeller. The method used for design was Catia V5 for modeling, mathematical investigations formula for propulsion power and ANSYS hydrodynamic software for stability testing. The study was limited to the hydrodynamic stability test and static structural analysis. All basic dimensions and propulsion power was determined by written java code. Then the recommended size of the boat that has overall length of 6m is taken and its propeller power was determined as 5h.p. The conceptual design of the boat 3D Model was created in the catia V5 and imported into the ANSYS Hydrodynamic diffraction and response analysis for Stability test. The test was recorded six times by adjusting the center of gravity and modifying boat mass. Hydrodynamic keel was also added as wind stability method. The test was done within the range of standard recommended metacentric height of boat. Then structural analysis for boat hull was done by importing the hydrodynamic pressure result of final step of the boat to ANSYS static structural analysis. From the trials results the final tested boat was accepted because the response of this final trial was very best when it compared with remained trials. The final trial center of gravity was taken as 0.5m and structural mass was 800kg. Therefore hydrodynamic pressure and motions result was determined from this final trial that gives 0.33MPa. This result of the final tested boat was used to determine the response of structure by applying ANSYS Static structural analysis. But for the other parts like turbine shaft and turbine mounted frame the ANSYS CFD program was used to determine drag coefficient on the turbine blade and calculating load transferred to each parts and the response of each part was determined by static structural analysis. After all components of the boat was analyzed and assembled in the Catia V5 the acceptable result of center of gravity was determined automatically from inertia mass tool bar. Then finally the determined result of vertical center of mass was 0.459m with total mass of 2500kg.
