Theory of High Speed Displacement Ships with Transom Sterns.
Abstract
A theory has been developed for high speed displacment ships. The theoretical treatment is based on treating the hull as finite in beam and draft but slender and the flow at the aft waterline being smooth and with a trailing wake. The trailing wake results in substantial residuary resistance at high speed for normal waterline shapes. Calculations are made for ships of highly variable parametric form and the results given.
