题目
Which effect does speed through the water have on a vessel which is underway in shallow water?A. An increase in speed results in the stern sucking down lower than the bow.B. A decrease in speed results in the vessel sucking down on an even plane.C. An increase in speed results in the vessel rising on an even plane.D. A decrease in the speed results in a decrease in steering response and maneuverability.

答案
A. An increase in speed results in the stern sucking down lower than the bow.
解析
本题考查船舶在浅水中航行时航速对船舶状态的影响这一知识点。解题思路是需要对每个选项所描述的航速与船舶状态的关系进行分析,结合船舶在浅水中航行的实际原理来判断其正确性。
- 选项A:
- 当船舶在浅水中增加航速时,由于船底与海底之间的水流速度加快,根据伯努利原理,流速快的地方压力小。船尾处水流相对更复杂,在高速航行时,船尾下方的压力会显著降低,导致船尾被“吸”向海底,使得船尾下沉程度比船首更大。所以选项A的描述是符合实际情况的。
- 选项B:
- 当船舶在浅水中降低航速时,船底与海底之间的水流速度减慢,压力变化相对较小。但说船舶会均匀下沉到一个平面是不准确的,因为船舶在浅水中的下沉情况受到多种因素影响,如船体形状、吃水分布等,不会简单地均匀下沉。所以选项B错误。
- 选项C:
- 增加航速时,如前面分析,船尾会因压力变化而下沉,而不是整个船舶均匀上升到一个平面。所以选项C错误。
- 选项D:
- 一般情况下,在浅水中降低航速会使船舶的操纵性变差,但通常是因为船底与海底的摩擦增加等因素,而不是因为船舶“吸”到一个平面上。所以选项D错误。
