Title: THE WAVE-MAKING RESISTANCE OF HIGH SPEED BOATS - THE FIRST REPORT: DISPLACEMENT TYPE SHIPS
Abstract: The authors studied optimum ship forms in a range covering Froude number from 0.4-1.4 with respect to their wave-making resistance of displacement type ships by the so-called thin ship theory. Numerical studies minimising the wave-making resistance are carried out on three ship types. The first is a wall-sided model and its solution is stable and gradually joins the theoretical results. The second type is a Maier form model and its solution is also fairly stable and the wave resistance is somewhat larger than the first one. The third model is a bulbous bow type ship form.
