Model Tests and Engineering Studies of the SWATH VII Small Waterplane Area Twin-Hull Ship.
Abstract
The main objective of this effort is to obtain drag data and wake data for the SWATH VII Form, and using this data to obtain estimates of the required propulsive horsepower for the design displacement of 4355 metric tons. A secondary objective was to determine the stern pitch fin settings for minimum drag and, to do this, drag tests were performed for three speeds and a range of fin angles. (Author)
