A New Displacement Monohull Design for High Performance, lower fuel consumption and increased habitability
Last modified: 2014-12-01
Abstract
The paper describes the hydrodynamics characteristics of a new type of displacement hull called Top.Glider, which overcomes the critical speed
of the typical displacement monohull.
Simulations results using a 3-dimensional CFD viscous tool are compared with towing tank data and a full scale test model of 14.5 m.
The scalability of the new design is analyzed for a range of ship lenghts, and compared with reference displacement and planing hulls.
The aim of the study is to show the advantages of the New Design in various applications (Pleasure Yachts, Offshore Supply Vessels, Warships, Fast Ferryes),
emphasizing: Higher Top-Speed, lower fuel consumption, shorter time in production process, compact&easy Ship Propulsion, reduction of wave making and increase of on-board space.
