Incorporating steps into a hull reduces the wetted surface, promoting improved hydrodynamic lift and reduced resistance at high speeds, provided that the step is designed appropriately. Traditional hydrodynamics studies rely on scaled model testing in to...

The effects of limited water depth on the hydrodynamic performance of a catamaran with the full-scale dimensions and geometry of a WAM-V 16 unmanned surface vehicle operating in shallow waters are investigated using an incompressible URANS-VOF solver in ...
