This paper describes the development of catamaran type powerboat applicable to leisure and transportation in the sea. Recently, the increasing prosperity of the leisure population has resulted in an increased popularity and need for recreational equipment such as water leisure powerboat. To satisfy the popularity and the need, catamaran type powerboat is developed applicable to leisure and simultaneously, as a means of tranportation for a short distance in the sea through the design using 3-Dimensional modeling method and experiments in circulating wate channel.

While displacement type Deep-V mono hulls have superior seakeeping behaviour at speed, catamarans typically have modest behaviour in rough seas. It is therefore a logical progression to combine the superior seakeeping performance of a displacement type Deep-V mono-hull with the high-speed benefits of a catamaran to take the advantages of both hull forms. The displacement Deep-V catamaran concept was developed in Newcastle University and Newcastle University's own multi-purpose research vessel, which was launched in 2011, pushed the design envelope still further with the successful adoption of a novel anti-slamming bulbous bow and tunnel stern for improved efficiency. This paper presents the hullform development of this unique vessel to understand the contribution of the novel bow and stern features on the performance of the Deep-V catamaran. The study is also a further validation of the hull resistance by using advanced numerical analysis methods in conjunction with the model test. An assessment of the numerical predictions of the hull resistance is also made against physical model test results and shows a good agreement between them.

In this Paper, the resistance performances of twin hull forms, which are simplified as two-dimensional wedge shape, are experimentally investigated in low and middle speed ranges to find out the effect of distance between two hulls and fore-body shape for the future hull form development of catamaran type sweeping vessel. The model tests are performed for seven different cases for three models in the circulating water channel(CWC) of Inha Technical College. The free surface flows are observed together to investigate the relation between resistance performance and free surface characteristics. A conceptual design for the modification of bow hull form is presented and the efficiency is discussed.

The need for energy harvesting in marine environments is gradually increasing owing to the energy limitation of marine robots. To address this problem, a catamaran-type sail drone (CSD), which can harvest marine energies such as wind and solar, was proposed in a previous study. However, it was designed and manufactured without considering the stability, optimal hull-form, and maintenance. To resolve these problems, a CSD with two keels, a performance estimator, V-shape hulls, and modularized components is proposed and its mechanism is developed in this study. To verify the performance of the CSD, the performance estimation using smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and the heading control using fuzzy logic controller (FLC) are performed. Simulation results show the attitude stability of the CSD and the experimental results show the straight path of the CSD according to wind conditions. Therefore, the CSD has potential applications as an energy harvesting system.

This paper reports the hull form development and resistance performance of a 5-ton-class catamaran-type coastal fishing boat. The weight estimation and preliminary design were basically extracted from existing coastal fishing vessels. In addition, the resistance performance was investigated using a model test in a high-speed circulating water channel and was analyzed in comparison to an existing catamaran fishing vessel. As a result, the modified hull achieved an approximately 30% reduction in resistance compared to the previous hull. The stability or boarding sensitivity of the modified hull form was more stable or comfortable than the original hull form based on a trim and sinkage comparison between the two boats.

Attitude Control System for a Hydrofoil type catamaran in wave is designed using a Decentralized Adaptive Control technique which is announced already by authors. This automatic attitude control system is designed for its good seaworthiness and for robustness on the variation of center of gravity. The performance is compared with a PID controller and the results show that the Decentralized Adaptive controller has better stability on the variation of the center of gravity.

To develope a hull form of catamaran type dredging vessel, resistance characteristics is investigated to find the interaction effect of waves between the two hulls. Re fore body shape is simplified as two dimensional wedge shape for the maintenance and disassembly/assembly. Based on MAC method, numerical simulation is performed in staggered variable mesh system. Re conservation form of Euler equations and continuity equation are applied as governing equations. To verify numerical methods, the wive patterns along the hull surface are compared with the results of model tests. This study is performed as varying wedge shape of the bow and the distance between the two hulls. The wave interaction between two hulls are observed to investigate the relation the resistance performance and the flow characteristics. Suitable hull form and distance between two hulls are discussed.

In this work, a panel method is described, which cart solve the flow field round a surface-piercing body that experiences lift and wave resistance. As the body boundary condition, a Dirichlet type is employed, and as the free surface boundary condition the Poisson type is implemented, while in its discretization Dawson's 4-point upwind difference scheme is utilized, and as the Kutta condition a Morino-Kuo type is chosen. As to the type of singularity, source panels are distributed on the free surface, and source and dipole panels on the body surface, and dipole panels on the wake surface. For a sample run, a catamaran of the parabolic Wigley hull is chosen, for which experimental data are available, and the predictions by the numerical means and by the experiment are compared for a wide range of parameters.

In this study, design of hull and test of model boat were carried out with electric propulsion small boat driven by photo-voltaic energy. The shape of boat was made with catamaran type by considering the ship's stability, the light-receiving area from solar. According to calculation, when speed of model boat is 5 knots, it was estimated the available power for propulsion with 1.1[hp]. However, the natural energy such as solar energy is strictly dependent upon the climate conditions so the real boat speed is slightly lower than the estimated value.

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.
