several communities adjacent to Manaus, which access is restricted to
the fluvial transports. Although these vessels have improved life in
these communities, there is still a need for travel time reduction and
making the system more efficient, as problems with service delays and
fuel shortages are recurring, leaving communities without this access.
Vessel fuel consumption is directly associated with the drag that is
experienced when navigating at the given speed. Therefore, to make the
optimization of this transports, the present project aimed to model a
vessel in 1:10 scale, and to perform tests using computational and
extrapolation methods. With the given results, the implementation of
hydrofoils was proposed as means of optimization. | | Keywords : | | | Drag; computational experiments; experimental test;
hydrofoils.
