Research studies about hydrodynamic performance of trimaran hull configurations and their application to real ship design, are relatively recent, having generally appeared in the last two decades of the last century, without relevant follow up in the shipbuilding world. The proposed paper aims to describe the main features of the hydrodynamic...

The paper continues and completes the publication of a series of towing tank tests initiated several years ago in the frame of an interuniversity project partially supported by the Ministry of Education, University and Research among the Universities of Genova, Napoli and Trieste. Two equivalent hull designs have been designed to be suitable...

The paper deals with experimental towing task tests of two equivalent multihull fast ships: the same main hull in trimaran and pentamaran configuration. An extensive set of model tests results, performed at the University of Genova on a 2m long model (1:50 scale), are presented in terms of total resistance and dynamic attitude at different...
