A fast numerical method for trimaran wave resistance prediction
A fast numerical method for trimaran wave resistance prediction
The optimisation of a trimaran configuration is not trivial due to the influence of longitudinal and transverse clearance between the hulls.This sensitivity is illustrated in the predictions presented.
The proposed calculation procedure is based on an extension of the slender ship theory of Noblesse. In particular the highly oscillatory terms within the associated Kochin function are expanded as series of products of Bessel functions and Legendre polynomials to facilitate faster computation and to separate out specific parameter dependencies. These objectives allow calculation of constituent terms of the Kochin function as a function of hull clearance parameters,which may be stored externally to the resistance calculation software.
The rapid calculation procedure allows identification of optimal trimaran configurations. Comparison between the numerical predictions and experimental measurement based on the authors’ earlier experimental investigations and those of other researchers (Degiuli etal.,2003) has shown good agreement.
The wave resistance differences for symmetric and asymmetric outer hull forms for three distinct
cases are presented and discussed.

Abstract
The optimisation of a trimaran configuration is not trivial due to the influence of longitudinal and transverse clearance between the hulls.This sensitivity is illustrated in the predictions presented.
The proposed calculation procedure is based on an extension of the slender ship theory of Noblesse. In particular the highly oscillatory terms within the associated Kochin function are expanded as series of products of Bessel functions and Legendre polynomials to facilitate faster computation and to separate out specific parameter dependencies. These objectives allow calculation of constituent terms of the Kochin function as a function of hull clearance parameters,which may be stored externally to the resistance calculation software.
The rapid calculation procedure allows identification of optimal trimaran configurations. Comparison between the numerical predictions and experimental measurement based on the authors’ earlier experimental investigations and those of other researchers (Degiuli etal.,2003) has shown good agreement.
The wave resistance differences for symmetric and asymmetric outer hull forms for three distinct
cases are presented and discussed.
