Research Abstract

Recently, several new concepts of high-speed ships have been proposed. One of the advantageous ones is a monohull vessel of displacement type that is suitable for high speed navigation and mass transportation.
The objective of this study was to clarify the possible problems that could be encountered during the development of this novel design concept.
The following items have been studied.
1) Optimum hull forms that require least engine power.
2) Spray resistance in high speed operation.
3) High performance propulsion system.
4) Stability characteristics of the proposed hull.
5) Wave loads on hull structure.
6) Hydro-elastic response of hull structures.
7) Problems regarding main engine and its arrangement.
Results of the study were effectively applied to the development of the design concept of displacement type high-speed ships.
