Maxsurf Webinar 7 Resistance and Powering Using Hullspeed

Our seventh Maxsurf webinar was held June 21st 2011. The topic was Resistance and Powering using Hullspeed.

This webinar reviewed techniques for:

  • concepts of resistance
  • measuring the hull form
  • setting up aerodynamic and appendage resistance
  • regression methods of analysis
  • slender body method for potential flow resistance prediction
  • prediction and display of wave making and wake generation
