Numerical Approach of Fishing Vessel Hull Form to Measure Resistance Profile and Wave Pattern of Mono-Hull Design

Abstract

Indonesia is a maritime country with two-thirds of its territory is the ocean. Indonesia has a diversity of marine resources with a total fish production continuing each year to reach 8.02 million tons. The traditional fishing vessel is one of transportation and livelihood support in Indonesia and the vessel was made based on the knowledge from generation to generation. Thus, the investigation of the fishing vessels must be conducted to measure the resistance profile and wave pattern. This analysis is conducted to consider the mono-hull fishing vessel design. The use of a numerical approach is rapid to predict the performance of ship design. The resistance analysis is investigated using Savitsky’s mathematical model and Holtrop’s regression method. Comparing studies is the main focus to describe the effectiveness of the methodology. The research will present the three variations of the hull for the mono-hull design. By comparing both methods, the best design makes the methods well enough to be used for resistance analysis, especially in the fishing vessel design.
