Optimization of the Propulsive Efficiency of a Fast Catamaran

The present study deals with the local optimization of the stern area and of the propulsive efficiency of a battery-driven, fast catamaran vessel. The adopted approach considers a parametric model for the catamaran’s innovative transom stern and a QCM (Quasi-Continuous Method) body-force model for t...
