A METHOD OF MINIMISING WAVE RESISTANCE FOR HULL FORMS OF MEDIUM-SPEED SHIPS

Wave resistance is composed of linear and nonlinear components, and the nonlinear components must be taken into account for the evaluation of wave resistance of medium-speed ships. In this paper two methods of estimating wave resistance, including the nonlinear component, are presented, i.e., the method of characteristics and the method of the sum of wave height squared. The validity of the methods was examined by experiments with three types of ship models; the second method, using the wave profile near hull surface, was generally more successful.
