Effect of Speed and Hull Length on the Hydrodynamic Performance of a Semi-Planing Hull of a Shallow-Draft Watercraft
Hydrodynamic performance is an essential factor in the design of a watercraft, and the navigation scenario determines the complexity of its operation.This study aims to identify the effect of speed and length on the hydrodynamic behavior of a semi-planing watercraft in shallow waters.A computational fluid dynamics tool was employed to predict the t
