Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to put forward a method of solution of wave flow energy propagated by twin-hull ships utilizing ship wave resistance integral equation by Tuck-Lazauskas [8]. The underlying principle of the governing equation is based on the linear thin ship theory pioneered by Michell. The ship wave resistance integral equation by Tuck-Lazauskas is improvised in which the upper limit of the mathematical integration of the governing equation is set to the final root instead of π/2 as in the original equation to eliminate the problem of solving such a divergent improper integral. The method of solution and the theoretical results are validated against works of others experimentally and theoretically. The results obtained by the proposed method are found to be very consistent and more closely fit to the experimental results in comparison with those obtained by other theoretical method as presented in this paper.
