Abstract:

The model test of hydrofoil small waterplane area twin-hull ship (HYSWATH) scheme developed in this paper is carried out to get the buoyance and resistance performances. Various characteristics of the total resistance, draft and trim with different ship speeds, locations of hydrofoils, attack angles of foils and locations of the center of gravity of ship have been measured and analyzed. The results of the model test prove that the buoyance and resistance performances of HYSWATH model are very good. The location of hydrofoils, attack angles of foils and location of the center of gravity of ship influence the resistance and velaity of the HYSWATH, and improve the resistance pertormance of HYSWATH in transitive state.
