THEORETICAL PREDICTION OF SEAKEEPING PERFORMANCE AND COMPARISON WITH SEA TRIAL RESULTS FOR HIGH-SPEED FOIL CATAMARAN SHIP

This paper deals with the theoretical seakeeping analysis, model test and full scale motion measurement performed for a 42m foil-assisted catamaran ship. Both 3-D panel method and strip method were used for theoretical seakeeping analysis. Full scale measurements were carried out for three hull-foil conditions consisting of bare hull condition and foil with/without flap control conditions. All the results were systematically compared with each other. The effects of flap control in reducing motion amplitudes were confirmed during the full scale measurements.
