Numerical Research on the Resistance Reduction of Air Intake

In order to investigate the drag-reducing effect of air intake, forward motion of planing trimaran models in calm water were simulated for Froude numbers ranging from 3.14⁻5.87. The hull body motion is implemented by coupling the fluid solver with motion solver. Numerical results were comp...
