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 …

A planing hull is a marine vessel whose weight is mostly supported by hydrodynamic
pressures at high-speed forward motion. Its high-speed character has made it popular and …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) effects on the total and spanwise slamming coefficients
and the pressure reductions acting on the wedge surface during water entry are modeled in …

The unsteady planing motion in waves is a complicated problem, that can lead to
uncomfortable riding situation and structural damages due to large wave-induced dynamic …

In conjunction with high performance computers, recent developments in computational
science paved the path to more accurate representation of body motions inside fluids. Small …

A new series of high speed hard chine planing hulls was designed to study their
performance in both calm water and waves. This study was undertaken to determine the …

Results of an extensive series of model tests that define the longitudinal surface wake
profiles aft of prismatic hulls having deadrise angles of 10º, 20º and 30º are presented …

The double-stepped design of lifting surfaces, planing in water, has been seen to benefit the
calm-water performance by distributing forces over the washed area. The unsteady motion …

A series of hard chine planing hull forms was developed at Department of Naval
Architecture, University of Naples. Three warped and one monohedral hulls were designed …

Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations of planing hulls are generally considered less
reliable than simulations of displacement hulls. This is due to the flow complexity around …
