This paper documents the generation of several seaway load prediction algorithms for catamarans, trimarans, and surface effect ships based on available model and full-scale test data. Froude scaling laws are used for geometrically different ships for each ship and load type using first principles and empirically derived studies. Simple seaway load prediction algorithms are then developed and expressed as functions of ship displacement and various key ship particulars. These global load algorithms are quickly computed, making them suitable for preliminary or concept design studies. In some cases, algorithms were developed from a minimum amount of data, and it is anticipated that as more data is gathered in the future, these algorithms will be further refined. As the ship design progresses, more accurate but time consuming computational analyses and model tests are appropriate.

This paper attempts to undertake a comparative analysis of resistance characteristics between newly developed asymmetrical catamaran hull forms which were derived from existing conventional NPL series of round bilge catamaran hull forms by Molland, Wellicome and Couser (1994). A set of asymmetrical catamaran hull forms with waterline length of 1.6 m with a separation ratio (s/L) of 0.4 were generated by using standard modelling software. The resistance analysis had been carried out by using STAR CCM+, a computational fluid dynamics package for Froude numbers of 0.25, 0.30, 0.60, 0.80 and 1.0. Literature survey indicates that there is scant historical background in public domain to perform resistance analysis on asymmetrical catamaran hull forms. As this is not feasible due to lack of data in areas that were considered crucial, separate resistance analysis is carried out for each hull configuration. Finally, the compared resistance results will attempt to conclude whether asymmetrical catamaran hull forms are more efficient than the conventional catamaran hull forms.

Non-intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) systems aim at identifying and monitoring the power consumption of individual appliances using the aggregate electricity consumption. Many issues hinder their development. For example, due to the complexity of data acquisition and labeling, datasets are scarce; labeled datasets are essential for developing disaggregation and load prediction algorithms. In this paper, we introduce a new NILM system, called Integrated Monitoring and Processing Electricity Consumption (IMPEC). The main characteristics of the proposed system are flexibility, compactness, modularity, and advanced on-board processing capabilities. Both hardware and software parts of the system are described, along with several validation tests performed at residential and industrial settings.

Planing crafts have been the traditional solution to high speed at sea. However, the limitations on high speed planing hull forms in a seaway have led to a tremendous amount of work currently being carried out on hydrofoils, catamarans and hybrid crafts. Despite these facts, the warship, commercial and pleasure markets still show demands for planing crafts and many new designs appear every year. The objective of this paper is to develop a computational procedure for predicting the total resistance of hard chine planing hull forms, prior to model testing. The computer prediction is later validated with existing experimental results.

Several advantages of multihull, such as catamaran, have been extensively discussed in the previous research. Therefore, this research focuses on developing a catamaran hull form for the fish processing vessel hull. The initial stage is determining the principal dimension and exploring the configurations of catamaran hull forms. The existing high-speed craft catamarans have been adopted to determine the parent model main dimensions using a linear regression equation model. Otherwise, the catamarans single demi-hull geometry was developed by converting and modifying the parent model hull form with enlarging the hull displacement to achieve the deadweight capacity and service speed requirements. The demi-hull spacing configuration with s/L 0.17, s/L 0.20, s/L 0.30, and s/L 0.40 on the resistance characteristics, intact stability, and sea-keeping behaviour were also explored. Furthermore, the comparisons with the previously proposed monohull were presented. Regarding the hull resistance performance, the analysis indicated that the catamaran hull form had better total resistance characteristics than the monohull on the service speed over 23 knots. In the case of intact stability, the analysis results presented that the catamaran hull form has better intact stability characteristics than the monohull. The dynamic stability of the catamarans also gave better dynamic stability at the heeling angle below 41.57°. Otherwise, the catamarans with s/L 0.17 and s/L 0.20 have lower dynamic stability than the monohull at the heeling angle larger than 41.57° and 58.03°, respectively. In the sea-keeping performance, the catamaran hull has shown an excellent rolling motion required for the offshore environment loading/unloading process. The large demi hull spacing of the catamarans hull can reduce the effect of the wave creating load on the roll motion response at the Beam Sea.

Rules governing the design of rowing shells do not restrict basic hull parameters. In designing a new eight-oared rowing shell for international ard Olympic competition, the authors sought a high speed, minimum drag hull form, subject only to the constraints on minimum displacement and roll stability. An investigation of optimum hull parameters using analytically determined resistance curves was made. Optimum hull parameters for both deep and shallow water racing are presented. Using the hull parameters determined for minimum resistance at racing speeds in shallow water, several new hull forms were created and analyzed in both deep and shallow water. Two promising final design candidates were proposed for model-scale testing. Results of both steady and unsteady towing tests are presented.
