RESISTANCE PREDICTION OF SMALL HIGH SPEED DISPLACEMENT VESSELS: STATE OF THE ART

In preliminary design studies, it is frequently necessary to estimate the calm-water resistance characteristics of various hull forms prior to model tests. For such estimations, use is generally made of results of well-known methodical model experiments, such as Taylor's Standard Series, Series 60, and others, to determine the effect of specific hull-form parameters on resistance. For small high-speed displacement vessels designed to operate in the speed range corresponding to Froude number values of 0.4 to 1.1 (equivalent to a range in V/square root L of 1.34 to 3.70), these well-known methodical series results are inadequate due to the limited speed range covered and alternative methods must be used. This paper presents all available and reliable data for the prediction of the resistance of small high-speed vessels designed to operate in the displacement mode. Included are the results of restricted and less well-known methodical series and averaged results or tests with a large number of non-systematic models, in both graphical and numerical form. Some basic considerations on how and when each of the presented methods can be applied are also presented.
