R/V Athena Model (5365) In Calm Water

Abstract

Current structural design methods for high speed naval craft rely heavily on empiricism. To support this understanding, a computational approach to predicting motions and loads was proposed. As part of this study, Model 5365 was tested in calm water, regular waves, and irregular waves. This report focuses on the analysis of the calm water data, and the accompanying uncertainty analysis.
