Abstract
This work covers the development of a virtual speed boat model for HIL (Hardware in the loop) simulations on engine testbenches. The virtual boat model is restricted to the longitudinal dynamics of the speed boat, as the purpose of the HIL setup is to calibrate the engine for optimal acceleration performance. Due to their high performance setup, speed boats are able to reach planing – a driving state where the boat planes over the water surface. The transition from displacement to planing and the different load characteristics in planing are crucial in the development of the virtual boat model for high speed boats. This work introduces a simplified model to take into account those transition effects.
