High-speed heavy loaded monohull ships can benefit from application of drag-reducing air cavities under stepped hull bottoms. The subject of this paper is the steady hydrodynamic modeling of semi-planing air-cavity hulls. The current method is based on a linearized potential-flow theory for surface flows. The mathematical model description and parametric calculation results for a selected configuration with pressurized and open air cavities are presented.

High speed marine vehicle, such as semi-planing, planing craft have been developed recently. These ships paid attention to the resistance characteristics, especially in high speed region. Model test method is divided to two equipment greatly, first 'Towing tank', second 'C.W.C.'. It is difficult to estimate a resistance characteristics for high speed boat. because these are made for low speed ship. This paper suggests a new model test method and system. This is real sea model test and it's comprised of eight part. Firstly, This method is tested at C.W.C that is possible to using in real sea model tes using low speed boat modelt. And then, Real sea model test and CFD calculation are performed and compared with tow way used high speed boat model. It can be a good way to estimate a performance for high speed boat.

Prediction of the running posture is important to evaluate the resistance by the numerical calculation for a high speed vessel. Especially for a planing craft having a large variation of running attitude it becomes more essential, but it can not be obtained easily because the running posture and the hydrodynamic forces including the resistance are interacted with each other. So iterative calculation to obtain the dynamic forces according to the changes in attitude is necessary, in this study, considering the calculated hydrodynamic force at the assumed draft as the additional buoyancy the corrected draft is calculated through satisfying the equilibrium between the buoyancy and the hull weight. To verify the derived method three kinds of hull forms were used with the results of model tests, R/V ATHENA and 150 tons class guide vessel for middle-speed semi-planing crafts, 28 feet fast boat for a high-speed planing boat. For all cases with several iterations the converged value of draft can be obtained, lastly the resistance and flow around hull were simulated by using VOF method.

Despite various forms have been developed and applied to ship hull forms, the superiority of hard chine type over other forms of fishing boat has been recognized so far. As one of the ways of forms for new concept fishing boat, this paper presents the result of a performance evaluation for newly developed forms of hull, appendage and deck house, which features that have esthetic forms.

The study on the improvement of resistance performance is very important for coastal fishing boats in Korea, because the prices of fuel oil are gradually risen and the demand of high-speed fishing boats is increased lately. This study is concerned with the improvement of the resistance performance for Korean high-speed small coastal fishing boats. A semi-planing hull form of Korean small coastal fishing boat is selected in the role of initial hull. From the modification of the hull form parameters and the local characteristics of the hull form, the improvement of the resistance performance is achieved. The resistance performances of the initial and the modified hull forms are estimated by using a numerical simulation method. Also, ship model tests are carried out in ship model basin.
