Re-Evaluation Of Resistance Prediction For High-Speed Round Bilge Hull Forms, Jae Won
Theses and Dissertations
Predicting the resistance of a high-speed monohull has been of interest to Naval Architects for several decades. Even though considerable amount of research has been carried out in this area, there remains a degree of uncertainty in the accurate resistance prediction in the early design stage. This research thesis attempts to investigate a method for enhancing the accuracy of resistance prediction methods for high-speed round-bilge monohull form vessels for a wide range of volumetric Froude numbers (Fn). While a number of systematic series are in existence, their data are either not readily available or scattered in various internal reports and …
