Correlation of Prototype and Model-Scale Wave Wake Characteristics of a Catamaran

摘要

This paper summarizes an experimental investigation into the correlation of model-scale wave wake measurements against full-scale trial results for a 24-meter long catamaran operating over a range of length Froude numbers. Both full-scale and 1/15th-scale model experiments were conducted over the range of length Froude numbers of approximately 0.3 to 1 .0 (full-scale speed range of 6 to 28 knots).
