This study presents the design procedure for optimizing the semi-planing hull form, including appendages, using numerical and experimental methods. Four different referenced semi-planing hull forms were compared to determine their hydrodynamic performances, and one of the hull forms was modified for optimum operation at high-speed conditions (0.4 < $F_{NL}$ < 0.9). The optimized, semi-planing hull form was tested in the towing tank to investigate its resistance characteristics. Also, the results of the model tests with differing design parameters were used to choose the stern wedge and the spray strip to improve the hydrodynamic performance at high speeds.

The effects of the air on the reductions in resistance when supplied under the bottom of a semi-planing ship with a step are investigated in the present study. A 1.275m long FRP model is constructed and the pressure and viscous tangential stresses over the planing surface of the hull with and without air supply are measured through measuring holes carefully selected at the towing tank of Seoul National University. Locations of holes most suitable for air injection are surveyed in front of the planing surface of the model with careful examinations of the limiting streamlines and pressure distributions measured without air supply. At those locations, found to be just front of the step, air has been supplied into a wake region to form an air filled cavity of fixed type. Flow rates and pressure of the supplied air as well as the local pressure and shear stress distributions on the hull surface are measured to understand the physics involved as well as to determine the conditions most effective in resistance reduction at the design speed. It has been found that total resistance of the stepped semi-planing hull can be considerably reduced if an air cavity generated by an adequate air injection at the bottom of the hull near the step. After the cavity optimized at the given speed, air bubbles also have been generated right behind the point where dividing streamlines re-attach to further reduce the frictional resistance but found to be not so effective as the air cavity in resistance reductions.

Despite various forms have been developed and applied to ship hull forms, the superiority of hard chine type over other forms of fishing boat has been recognized so far. As one of the ways of forms for new concept fishing boat, this paper presents the result of a performance evaluation for newly developed forms of hull, appendage and deck house, which features that have esthetic forms.

The study on the improvement of resistance performance is very important for coastal fishing boats in Korea, because the prices of fuel oil are gradually risen and the demand of high-speed fishing boats is increased lately. This study is concerned with the improvement of the resistance performance for Korean high-speed small coastal fishing boats. A semi-planing hull form of Korean small coastal fishing boat is selected in the role of initial hull. From the modification of the hull form parameters and the local characteristics of the hull form, the improvement of the resistance performance is achieved. The resistance performances of the initial and the modified hull forms are estimated by using a numerical simulation method. Also, ship model tests are carried out in ship model basin.

In this research, experimental seakeeping results of Warped hull form 2 on the regular waves were compared with numerical results of strip method and CFD. In case of ship's speed, there are 3 cases (3.4m/s, 4.6m/s, 5.75m/s) for numerical simulation, and they are belong to semi-planing and planing condition. Consequently, in case of strip method, it is shown that the resonance phenomena occurred from around ${\lambda}/L_{OA}=2$ to 4 and RAO value were significantly higher than that of other. this is different from experimental results. In case of CFD, overall trends were similar with experimental values except there are somewhat excessive RAO values around ${\lambda}/L_{OA}=0.5$ to 2.5. these phenomena is confirmed that it became larger as the ship's speed increased, and it was considered that the error occurred because the number of mesh in vertical direction of wave height at ${\lambda}/L_{OA}=0.5$ to 2.5 were relatively less than those of wave height at ${\lambda}/L_{OA}=2.5$ to 5.2.
