Resistance and Component Hull Interactions of a High-Speed Trimaran Sealift Ship

Multi-hull vessels potentially offer several advantages over conventional monohull ship designs for a variety of operational requirements. Predicting the nature and extent of the interaction between the component hulls is a complex hydrodynamic issue. In this experiment, a resistance model test of h...

Summary:Multi-hull vessels potentially offer several advantages over conventional monohull ship designs for a variety of operational requirements. Predicting the nature and extent of the interaction between the component hulls is a complex hydrodynamic issue. In this experiment, a resistance model test of high-speed sealift trimaran was performed, varying the position and angle of the side hulls relative to the center hull. Forces on the side hulls were measured in addition to the overall drag of the trimaran. In addition, the component hulls were tested separately in order to explore the nature and extent of interaction effects. Work Unit Number 08-1-2125-148. The original document contains color images.
