AI Thread Summary
When a boat is stationary with a weight of 500kg on one side, it leans 15 degrees. However, when the boat is planing, it may lean less than 15 degrees due to hydrodynamic forces at play. The righting moment generated by pressure distribution on the hull's bottom can counteract the lean. At higher speeds, variations in submersion depth can create differences in lift, potentially reducing the lean angle further. The specifics of these forces would require careful analysis to understand their impact fully.

When boat is stay in place,put on one side 500kg,boat will lean 15 degrees...

If now we go planing with this boat, will boat lean less then 15 degrees or equal?
If less,what is force which reduce lean angle?

What do you think and why?

My intuition tells that boat is harder to lean when boat is moving but there must be some force that act like righting moment..

Disbalnce in pressure distribution on bottom boat?

(I think you can stand on edge on jet ski when planing at high speed and he will not capsize)

At higher speeds hydrodynamic lift may be different on left and right sides of the hull because of the different depths of submersion . Deeper submersion could mean more lift and therefore more force tending to reduce the angle of lean . No guarantees though - the actual details of the problem would need to be looked at carefully .
 
Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
