The topology of planing hulls entails some of the most innovative specifications found in
modern advanced marine vehicles. Planing hull designs can vary depending on their …

Planing hulls are exposed to effects such as trim and resistance that have a negative impact
on their hydrodynamic performances. Interceptors are one of the systems to find solutions to …

Moving fast by high-speed planing craft (HSPC) is advantageous for some special missions,
though it causes severe hull vibrations and shocks that can transfer to the human body and …

Efforts to improve the hydrodynamic performance of high-speed ships have been underway
for a long time. There are different approaches, one of which is to take advantage of an …

The design of spray rails has been under-reported in recent decades; besides general
guidelines, few studies focus on the design of spray rails on a planing craft. The influence of …

The current numerical method for ship motion control primarily relies on mathematical ship
models that require solving hydrodynamic derivatives. In this paper, a fully nonlinear viscous …

The form-changeable boats have received much attention due to its far-ranging applicability,
strong combat capability and the low operating cost. This paper constructs a variable …

The paper presents the numerical studies of seakeeping behavior for a high-speed
catamaran with stern flap advancing in long crest head wave. Both model-scale and full …

This study analyzed the hydrodynamics of a high-speed monohull craft model through
increasing its longitudinal stability to improve its performance. First, a high-speed planing …

An interceptor is an appendage widely used for high-speed planing boats to reduce
resistance and modify hull attitude by the lift force-induced, but the relationship between the …
