Form Optimization And Design Of Wave Piercing Catamaran With 500 Passengers

As a newly developed high-performance ship,Wave Piercing Catamaran (WPC) has been applied and investigated more and more extensively. In this paper,the theoretic calculation method of wave resistance of a kind of Wave Piercing Passenger Catamaran with 500 passengers has been researched,including the ship lines optimization;the fast speed experiment research work and the research of the relation between the principal dimensions and the resistance.The relation between the Wave Piercing Catamaran and the ship form parameters has been further researched,and also some useful theoretic basis and practical means have been provided for its practical engineering appliance.
