Experimental and numerical methodologies in ship design
In this paper the hydrodynamic behavior , from the wave resistance view point, of simple shake submerged bodies is studies by means of experimental techniques and numerical methods. This work is the first approach to the SWATH hydrodynamic behavior evaluation. The experimental investigation is carried out according to the longitudinal cut method, on the other hand the numerical approach is based on the integral formulation of the potential flow model. The obtained results are presented and discussed, for simple shaped as well as for coupled bodies with struts.
