High Speed Catamarans and Multihulls/Скоростные катамараны и многокорпусные суда

Издание на английском языке
This book takes a broad view of the multihull concept and its design. We go into some depth on the hydrodynamics of such vessels while also aiming to give the reader an appreciation of what it takes to create a multihull as a project, where the underwater configuration is the starting point. A naval architect or marine engineer will be sensitive to the need to strike a balance between the configuration selection based on service requirement and the consequences of that choice of vessel geometric form for the structure, powering, motions, and total cost of ownership (TCO).
Thus, this is a naval architecture book rather than simply a hydrodynamics text.
For a more detailed treatment of hydrodynamics for such vessels, readers are referred to texts given in the references and listed in the resources section at the back of the book. University libraries should have access to printed or electronic versions. We will refer to subject matter covered in these other resources as we progress, taking a project delivery approach. Nevertheless, we present an overall approach to selecting and analyzing the form of a multihull vessel based on work at MARIC, where two of the authors have dedicated their careers to high-speed marine technology. This work in turn is linked throughout the text to research in Norway, the UK, Australia, and, more recently, the USA and further developed using the major project execution experience of author Bliault.
We will follow a sequence that can be applied when working on a multihull project. The early part involves looking at options based on available statistical data or some fundamental analysis. Once a starting configuration (or range of examples) is established, the design and analysis cycle can start. To achieve an “optimum” result, you need to have your roadmap set up with the key decision points and core design limitations (including your specification for accept/reject decisions). Without such a roadmap, the design/configuration can easily go off on a tangent and result in one parameter being optimized but a vessel that does not meet an operator’s overall requirements. We spend some time discussing these decision points in a project timeline.
This book has evolved a great deal from the early drafts of Profs. Yun and Rong of MARIC. Initial papers were prepared in the early 2000s for the wave-making and wake analysis based on the approach used at MARIC in the 1990s. The work was updated in 2010 by Prof. Yun in preparation for this book with materials for an introduction to concepts including SWATH, wave piercers and hybrids, resistance and stability, seakeeping, and design development. Since that time, Alan Bliault has completed additional chapters regarding propulsion, structural analysis, outfitting, and project execution and updated the earlier material to incorporate the work of researchers and engineers primarily in Australia and the UK so as to reflect, to the extent possible, the global approach to catamaran and multihull design as it stands in the current decade.
