Abstract
A series of self-propulsion tests of a catamaran design at
medium-speeds is proposed to study the influence of the
hydrodynamics at medium-speeds on the waterjet
propulsors. These model tests will be carried out using a
load-varied self-propulsion testing technique in calm
water. Due to size requirements of the model, a single
demihull is to be utilised in close proximity to the side
wall of the towing tank which acts as the plane of
symmetry, reflecting waves generated by the demihull and
therefore providing the acceptable blockage effects and
wave interference for the second demihull.
