Abstract

The boundary hydrodynamic interaction of a 3-D oval body was experimentally surveyed for different cases. The regression method was employed to find the experimental formulae of hydrodynamic coefficients relating to the attack angle, clearance to wall, and moving speed. The mechanism of interaction was discussed. The experimental results show that there exists a lifting effect, similar to wings in flow. The lifting effect is remarkable. The boundary hydrodynamic interaction of the small aspect ratio model is almost linearly dependent on the attack angle, but the effect of the moving speed of the body on the hydrodynamic coefficients is very small. The effect of clearance is related to the geometric shape. The boundary hydrodynamic interaction always enhances the lifting effect if the clearance is small
