Title: Resistance study on alterative layouts of the trimaran hull configuration
Abstract: The resistances of the layouts of trimaran with different longitudinal and transverse positioning of the side-hulls were calculated based on the Michell's thin-ship theory and compared with the experimental results.The results show that the calculated prediction is closing to the model experimental results and can indicate the rule of the resistance relating to arrangement of side hulls and the ship speed.The analyzed rule in this paper is also consistent with that the other literatures presented.It shows also that the Michell theory is applicable for evaluating the configuration of the trimaran hulls.
