A study on the SWATH Ship Design Program at the Preliminary Design Stage
SWATH선의 초기설계 프로그램에 관한 연구
Abstract
A PSWATH is a computer program for the determination of principal particulars of Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull (SWATH) Ship design at the preliminary design stage. This paper describes the PSWATH system and the underlying theory. The major calculation modules are hull definition, resistance and propulsion, weight estimation and pitch stability analysis. Use of the model is illustrated by input, output and means of examples.
