High Speed Monohull and Hydrofoil Craft: Performance, Technology, and Applications provides comprehensive coverage of the basic hydrodynamics of high-speed monohulls and hydrofoil craft useful to students and engineers alike.


The first half of the book introduces different hull shapes for semi-planing and planing craft with examples from their development through the last century. Succeeding chapters then describe the hydrodynamic theory behind their performance in calm water and a seaway. They also document the extensive series of model test programs naval architects use to create prediction models for resistance and powering. Electronic versions of a number of these are included for readers' use. A final chapter on monohulls looks at hull geometric form that has been developed to provide the best possible combination of resistance in waves and motion response through a combination of a deep and sharp forefoot and a hard chine cross-section towards the stern for patrol vessels and offshore logistics craft.
