In the context of marine application of computational fluid dynamic (CFD), it is well known
that the numerical simulations of planing craft are significantly less reliable than that of …

Comparisons of experimental and simulation results for a high-speed deep-V planing hull
are presented. The goal of this investigation is to improve the physical understanding of, as …

Abstract Verification and Validation (V&V) is the foremost analysis which is carried out for
evaluation of the accuracy level and dependability of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) …

Part II of this two-part paper presents the results from experiments and simulations of a high-
speed deep-V planing hull operating in head waves (both regular and irregular). Results …

Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations of planing hulls are generally considered less
reliable than simulations of displacement hulls. This is due to the flow complexity around …

Spray strips are deflectors added to the hull to reduce the Wetted Surface Area (WSA). The
reduced WSA will decrease the total ship drag caused by the deflection of the spray strip …

This paper focuses on the analysis of a challenging free surface flow problem involving a
surface vessel moving at high speeds, or planing. The investigation is performed using a …

Hydrofoil-supported catamarans (Hysucats) have emerged in the last two decades as
competitors against monohulls in terms of efficiency in high-speed planing regimes …

The scope of the present study is to investigate the effects of various geometrical hull
features, such as tunnels, spray rails and whiskers on the hydrodynamic performance of a …

Change in body shape characteristics is one of the ways to reduce the resistance and
thereby increasing the speed of planing hulls. Creating the transverse steps is one of these …
