본 연구에서는 너클 라인이 다수 존재하면서 안팎 형상이 비대칭으로 설계된 특이점을 갖는 쌍동선의 자항성능을 예측하기 위 해 CFD 해석을 수행하였고, 해석 기법에 따른 차이를 파악하기 위해 MRF(Moving Reference Frame) 기법과 SDM(Sliding Mesh) 기법을 적용하 였다. MRF 기법을 적용한 경우에는 time step당 프로펠러를 1˚ 회전시켰고, SDM 기법의 경우 10˚, 5˚, 1˚씩 회전시키며 각 기법별 예측된 자 항성능을 비교하였다. 자항점 추정을 위한 몇 가지 프로펠러 회전수에서의 해석 결과 중 프로펠러의 토크는 기법에 따른 차이가 거의 없었 지만 추력 및 선체가 받는 저항은 MRF 기법보다는 SDM 기법을 적용했을 때 더 낮게, SDM 기법의 time step당 프로펠러 회전각이 작을수 록 높게 계산되었다. 선형 내삽을 통해 추정된 자항점의 프로펠러 회전수, 추력, 토크와 실선 확장법을 사용해 추정된 실선의 전달동력, 반 류 계수, 추력 감소 계수 및 프로펠러 회전수도 동일한 경향을 보였으며, 대부분의 자항효율은 반대의 경향을 보였다. 프로펠러 후류의 경 우 MRF 기법을 적용했을 때 정확도가 떨어졌고, SDM 기법의 time step당 프로펠러 회전각에 따라 표현되는 후류의 차이는 거의 없었다.

In this study, a 30ft class high speed catamaran cruise boat is designed and resistance performances are investigated by model test at a circulating water tank. Design speed of the boat is 17knots(8.7m/s) and maximum speed is 20knots(10.3m/s) using 330ps twin engine. Each single bodies are designed unsymmetric planing hull considering high speed-length-ratio(Froude number) and wave interaction at inner part of the hull. Small size fins like chine are attached near free surface at each outside of the hull to separate wave along the hull side. The results show that the small chine plays a big role in separating the wave flowing along the hull. However, in the case of relatively heavy boat such as the developed hull, such a small power due to chine can not cause additional lift and cause resistance increase.

In this study, electric propulsion leisure boat with 9 meters length is designed and the performances are investigated by CFD analysis and model test. Maximum speed of the developed boat is 15knots(7.7 m/s) using 80Kw electric motor. Catamanan type hull form with slender body is adopted considering high Froude number and large deck area. Two kinds of hull forms are designed and the performances are compared in resistance point of view. Wave patterns are observed to make clear the relationship between resistance performance and wave characteristics. The results show that not only wave interaction due to shoulder waves but also stern waves have a strong influence on resistance performance and CFD analysis including free surface can give useful informations at initial ship design stage for high Froude number catamaran boat.

This study develops an efficient numerical algorithm to predict wave-resistance performance of a catamaran hull. The developed numerical algorithm is applied to evaluate wave-resistance performance for two different twin hull forms with a asymmetric and a symmetric mono hull. Numerical calculations and model tests are compared to validate a developed numerical algorithm adopted in the current work. Comparisons are carried out through the sinkage at the bow and stern, the trim and the wave-making resistance coefficient. Model test is performed in order to verify the numerical results. The comparative analysis study regarding hydrodynamic characteristic of different twin hull forms is worthy of application in the catamaran hull form development stage.

Hull forms for catamaran type small fishing boat powered by electric motor are newly developed by experimental approaches. Model tests for two hull forms having different length are made at circulating water channel. Resistance performance and wave patterns are compared to carry out an analysis of the effect of extension of main body. The results show that the extension of main body can give better resistance performance above a certain velocity.

The small catamaran leisure boat which is 4.1m length, 1.9m breadth and 0.7 ton displacement was designed. To decide optimum breadth, four sets of distances between hulls were considered. CFD analysis using FLUENT was performed to examine flow patterns, pressure distribution and wave height between two hulls. Model test at CWC in INHA Technical College was also carried out to get the resistance for final hull form at design speed 5 knots. The feature of flow pattern among four different distances between hulls were compared and discussed. The optimum breadth of design vessel was decided depending on the CFD results and comments of expertise that has experience on board the small demihull. The design procedure to choose optimum breadth, especially small change of the hull distance, using CFD was described in this paper

In this paper, important parameters of fast catamaran hull form are investigated. Praticularly, length-displacement ratio, demihull spacing, trim and hull form on resistance performance are analyzed. Also, the usefulness of SHIPFLOW program for hull form development is studied. The computed results by using SHIPFLOW program are compared with experimental results in model test.
