Experimental and numerical analysis of the interference effect for a fast catamaran is carried out. This work presents the status of an ongoing NICOP project, the focus is on the effect of the separation distance between the demihull on the performances as well as on the interference. To this aim, experiments and numerical simulations are performed for five different separation lengths (and for the monohull configuration) and for a wide range of Froude number (from 0.2 to 0.8).

Abstract

Experimental and numerical analysis of the interference effect for a fast catamaran is carried out. This work presents the status of an ongoing NICOP project, the focus is on the effect of the separation distance between the demihull on the performances as well as on the interference. To this aim, experiments and numerical simulations are performed for five different separation lengths (and for the monohull configuration) and for a wide range of Froude number (from 0.2 to 0.8).
