Environmental issues such as the emission of greenhouse gases, pollution, wash and noise
are having an increasing impact on the design and operation of ships. These environmental …

Resistance or drag is one of the most important factors in ship design, in particular in
connection with the development of more efficient and environmentally friendly vessels. The …

The present work is about the seakeeping behavior of a fast catamaran advancing in head
sea. To this aim seakeeping tests with transient, regular and irregular waves are performed …

This paper presents the results of a large experimental and numerical campaign aimed to
the analysis of the interference effect for a fast catamaran. Several separation distances are …

The simulations of the flow around a high-speed vessel in both catamaran and monohull
configurations are carried out by the numerical solution of the Reynold averaged Navier …

The purpose of the present paper is the numerical investigation of the interference
phenomena between the waves generated by the individual hulls of a catamaran. The study …

This paper describes the investigations carried out in the towing tank of ETSIN (UPM), where
the influence of the distance between catamaran hulls on interference resistance was …

Experimental and numerical analysis of the interference effect for a fast catamaran is carried
out. This work presents the status of an ongoing NICOP project, the focus is on the effect of …

This paper investigates the interference effects of wave systems on a multi-hull vessel in
shallow water. A numerical analysis is made using the URANS code CFDSHIP-Iowa V. 4 on …

Catamaran resistance is very complex compared to monohull resistance, so it is particularly
worthy of research. The below-water-level hull form influences the fluid flow characteristics …
