| Research Abstract |
In the present work, a new trimaran PCC is proposed and a feasibility study on the ship is carried out. In this study, first, the effective horse power(EHP)/car of the PCC running in still water is predicted. By comparing the predicted EHP/car with that of a conventional mono-hull PCC, it is found that the trimaran PCC is superior to a conventional mono-hull PCC at rather higher speed. It is also found that at common service speed of PCCs, the EHP/car of a small PCC is lower than that of the conventional PCC. Also, the increase of the resistance of PCCs running in strong wind is simulated.
