The displacement Deep-V catamaran concept was developed in Newcastle University(UNEW) through development of the systematic Deep-V catamaran series. One of the most important Deep-V catamaran launched to date is Newcastle University's own multi-purpose research vessel, The Princess Royal. The vessel was launched in 2011 and enhanced the Deep-V catamaran concept further with the successful adoption of a novel anti-slamming bulbous bow and tunnel stern for improved efficiency. It was however identified that the vessel has substantial amount of dynamic trim that limited the visibility of the captain. The dynamic trim also increased the wave-making resistance thereby preventing the vessel from attaining its maximum speed in certain sea states. This paper therefore presents the application of devices such as Trim Tabs, Interceptors, Transom Wedges and Integrated Transom Wedges-Tabs to control the dynamic trim and improvement of fuel efficiency of the vessel. All of these energy saving devices were fitted into a model for tests in Newcastle University's Towing Tank. Model test verification confirmed that the optimum appendage was the interceptors, they produced a 5% power saving and 1.2 degree trim reduction at 15 knots, and investigations of full scale trials will be scheduled with and without application of device to compare the improvement of performance.

본 연구에서는 Froude 수 1.0, 길이 약 10 m 급 소형 고속선의 저항성능과 승선감을 향상시키기 위해 선미 끝단에 트림 탭을 부착하여 항주자세를 제어하였고, 트림 탭의 제원에 따른 성능을 확인하기 위해 CFD 해석을 수행하였다. 먼저 선행 연구로부터 수치해석이 수행되는 스케일에 따라 결과에 차이가 있는 것이 확인되었고, 이를 피하고자 실선 스케일에서의 해석을 수행하였다. 부착된 트림 탭의 코드 길이는 L_PP의 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 %였으며, 선저 면과의 각도는 5° 간격으로 변화를 주었다. 트림 탭은 선박의 선미트림과 부상량을 감소시키는 효과가 있었으며, 이 효과는 트림 탭의 선저 면과의 각도가 클수록, 코드 길이가 길수록 증가하였다. 이로 인해 압력저항은 감소하고 전단저항은 증가하였으며, 두 성분의 변화량에 따라 전 저항 저감율이 결정되었다. 결과로부터 대상 선박의 최적 항주자세는 약 1.5°의 선미트림으로 특정되었고, 이때 저항성능은 약 27 % 개선되었다.

A method of hydrodynamic discrete sources is applied for two-dimensional modeling of stepped planing surfaces. The water surface deformations, wetted hull lengths, and pressure distribution are calculated at given hull attitude and Froude number. Pressurized air cavities that improve hydrodynamic performance can also be modeled with the current method. Presented results include validation examples, parametric calculations of a single-step hull, effect of trim tabs, and performance of an infinite series of periodic stepped surfaces. It is shown that transverse steps can lead to higher lift-drag ratio, although at reduced lift capability, in comparison with a stepless hull. Performance of a multi-step configuration is sensitive to the wave pattern between hulls, which depends on Froude number and relative hull spacing.
