Abstract
The extent to which a low-aspect-ratio flat ship with a chined hull is wetted when planing at infinite Froude number is investigated. A numerical method of solution for the wetted area, which is applicable to more general planing problems, is presented. The results obtained by this method are compared with those found by solving the inverse problem of determining the hull shape which produces a given waterplane shape and are shown to be in excellent agreement. Results are also presented which indicate that a ‘vertical’ chine may be used to fix the shape of the wetted region.
