A two-dimensional Boundary Element Method (BEM) based on potential flow theory is
developed to study wave-body interaction problems with strongly nonlinear effects. In …

Determining a ship's propulsive power is a critical stage in the design phase in which the
evaluation of the stern plays a crucial role. Different flow regimes can be observed …

The hydrodynamic performance of high-speed displacement vessels can be enhanced by
installing basic stern fittings such as stern wedges, stern flaps, interceptors, and hull vanes …

Usually gravity can be neglected for planing vessels at very high planing speed. However, if
the planing speed becomes lower, the influence of gravity must be considered. A 2D+ t …

The wake waves generated by the steady movement of a planing hull are analyzed by
means of towing tank tests. Two sets of waves, including divergent and transverse waves …

The prediction of the total resistance of planing crafts at high speeds is very important. In this
paper, a combined method is investigated for determining the hydrodynamic characteristics …

A numerical algorithm based on the boundary element method (BEM) is presented for
predicting the hydrodynamic characteristics of the various planing hull forms. The boundary …

A numerical investigation of the bottom pressure and wave elevation generated by a planing
hull in finite-depth water is presented. While the existing literature addresses the free …

Significant drag reduction of large displacement vessels can be achieved by applying multi-
wave air cavities arranged on the hull bottom. Waves generated on the air–water interface of …

The objective of the present investigation is to explore the physics behind the waterjet/hull
interaction, and in particular the negative thrust deduction often reported in the semi-planing …
