Guedes Soares, C., Fonseca, N., Santos, P. and Marón, A. (1999), “Model Tests of the Motions of a Catamaran Hull in Waves”, Proceedings of the International Conference on Hydrodynamics of High Speed Craft, 24-25 November, London, paper 2, pp. 1-10
The paper describes the results of model tests of a catamaran in regular waves. The program concentrated on the heave, pitch and roll behavior of the catamaran and considered the effects of speed and heading on the motion behavior. Some derived responses were also investigated such as the vertical accelerations and relative motions and the mean added resistance in waves. The tests were carried out for several wave headings and Froude numbers and for a wide range of wave frequencies.
