Conceptual Design and Hydrodynamic Analysis of a High-Speed Deformable Trimaran

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper proposed a new high-speed deformable trimaran based on DTMB5415, and discussed its advantages and applications. We computed the hydrodynamic performance with CFD method and analyzed the wave-making interference and resistance performance for eight different arrangements of this trimaran. The results show an optimal layout for this high-speed deformable trimaran, which can decrease the resistance of per unit displacement mass about 32%.
