Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This volume considers hydrodynamic aspects of the three main categories of high-speed marine vehicles, i.e. vessels supported by either the submerged hull, an air cushion, or foils. (Submerged-hull-supported vessels include planing and semi-displacement vessels.) The wave environment, resistance, propulsion, seakeeping, sea loads, and maneuvering are extensively covered based on rational and simplified methods. Links to automatic control and structural mechanics are emphasized. A detailed description of waterjet propulsion is given, and the effect of water depth on wash, resistance, sinkage, and trim is discussed. The book contains many illustrations, examples, and exercises.

I bought the book for my research in planing crafts. In a single volume it covered everything I wanted to know about the planing crafts. The book is particularly useful in conceptual design phase because the author does not rely on expensive CFDs to do the modeling. I'm working on the dynamic planing behaviour of seaplanes and the linear state space model given in the book proved to be an excellent starting point. I'm very grateful to the author because I have been having a hard time collecting scattered literatures on the subject which lacked a coherent exposition.
