The modelling and simulation of planing craft manoeuvres requires coupled six degrees of freedom (6 DOF) motion equations. A coupled 6 DOF motion equation needs hundreds of manoeuvring hydrodynamic coefficients (MHCs) that are mostly determined using the planar motion mechanism (PMM) test. The number of test runs is too high, unless a kind of simplification is imposed to the motion equations. This study modifies 6 DOF motion equations to 4+2 DOF motion equations in which heave and pitch equations are replaced by dynamic draught and trim (so-called running attitude), respectively. The method is applicable for a manoeuvre that commences in the planing regime and ends in the same regime. On that basis, the PMM test is conducted and the model is restrained in the vertical plane at a certain running attitude, determined by a resistance test. The 4+2 DOF method, together with MHCs from the PMM test, are employed for the simulation of turning manoeuvres of a 25° prismatic planing hull. The results of the simulation indicate that the 4+2 DOF method reasonably predicts the path of the craft during the turning manoeuvre and cuts the number of PMM tests required at the same time. The PMM test results show that MHCs are highly related to forward speed and wetted surfaces. The turning manoeuvre simulation shows that the non-linear terms of MHCs cannot be ignored. The STD/L (Steady Turning Diameter divided by Length of the craft) for a planing craft is very large, compared to ships.

Prediction of the pressure distribution on a planing craft in waves deeply affects its structural design and safe operation. In this paper, the possibility of pressure prediction for the planing craft in waves is studied. A combined method is formulated by which craft motions in waves are computed using a 2.5D method, and the impact pressure is anticipated by the equivalent wedge method. Experiments are conducted to record the vertical acceleration and pressure time trends on a model. Comparing the results of the combined method with the experiments indicates that this approach successfully predicts the heave and pitch motions and the time evolution of the acceleration and pressure. The method presents good estimations for the peaks of the acceleration and pressure. Using the combined method, a parametric study on maximum peak acceleration and pressure is also conducted for various forward velocities and wave heights. It has been shown that the combined method is a fast and reliable tool for maximum peak pressure prediction. The method may be employed for structural design and optimization.

A mathematical representation of calm-water resistance for contemporary planing hull forms based on the USCG and TUNS Series is presented. Regression analysis and artificial neural network (ANN) techniques are used to establish, respectively, Simple and Complex mathematical models. For the Simple model, resistance is the dependent variable (actually R/Δ for standard displacement of Δ = 100000 lb), while the Froude number based on volume (FnV) and slenderness ration (L/V1/3) are the independent variables. In addition to these, Complex model’s independent variables are the length beam ratio (L/B), the position of longitudinal centre of gravity (LCG/L) and the deadrise angle (β). The speed range corresponding to FnV values between 0.6 and 3.5 is analyzed. The Simple model can be used in the concept design phases, while the Complex one might be used for various numerical towing tank performance predictions during all design phases, as appropriate.
