Abstract:Hydrodynamic performance is an essential factor in the design of a watercraft, and the navigation scenario determines the complexity of its operation. This study aims to identify the effect of speed and length on the hydrodynamic behavior of a semi-planing watercraft in shallow waters. A computational fluid dynamics tool was employed to predict the trim, heave, and resistance parameters of two different hulls: a base hull and a craft with an increased hull length. The two hulls had similar hydrodynamic charact… Show more
