Effect of Increased Outer Hull Setback on Resistance for the O'Neill Hull Form Represented by DTRC Models 5355-1,2

摘要

A second series of resistance experiments were performed on a model representing the O'Neill Hull Form. These experiments were to investigate the resistance benefits of increasing outer hull setback distances over previously examined conditions. In addition, experiments were done with a second set of outer hulls at three different setback configurations. Experimental results show that the increased outer hull setback distances yield decreased resistance consistently above 24 knots full scale when the model is fitted with either set of outer hulls.
