... Introduction Previous Work Previous work on the subject of prediction of resistance of marine vehicles, such as monohulls and catamarans, has shown that the trends in the curve of total resistance with respect to speed can be predicted with excellent accuracy, using the traditional linearized Michell (1898) wave-resistance theory, together with a suitable formulation for the component of frictional resistance.

... This approach involves apolYin~ the Kutta condition to the edge of the transom stern and also adjusting the length of the hull to minimize the deviations of the pressure from atmospheric. Current Work The primary aim of the current work is to study the possibly of incorporating nonlinear wave effects in the analysis of the vessel.

... Finally, a tertiary aspect of the study is to develop a semi-empirical model for the water flow withers the transom-sterrz hollow at low speeds. The need for this improvement was made apparent from previous work on this subject, where it was recognized that assuming that the water was fully separated, even at low speeds, resulted in predictions for the resistance which were impractically high.

... (4) These different approaches are summarized Enhanced Viscous Effects In previous work by the authors, the frictional resistance RF was estimated using only a suitable friction line based on a semi-empirical method, such as the 1957 International Towing Tank Committee (ITTC)

These show the hydrostatic resistance RH, the pressure resistance RP, the frictional resistance RF, the total resistance RT, and the total experimental resistance.

... While the analysis of these results is still at an early stage, we have demonstrated that the associated wave-elevation-prediction computer program provides wave profiles which are verified by the experiments within a few percent. Differences are mainly in the phasing of the waves rather than in their elevation and, hence, the energy density in the wave system and the resulting wave resistance is expected to be predicted well - as demonstrated by the total resistance predictions presented in our paper.
