| FLOTILLA | |
|
Flotilla is an in-house code that can be used to predict the total resistance, squat and
wave elevations of thin monohulls, catamarans, Surface Effect Ships (SES), and Air-Cushion
Vehicles (ACV).
The following reports show predictions for a wide range of vessels. Where possible estimates are compared with experiments. Input files for the vessels investigated in these reports will be bundled with the demonstration version. |
