A Feasibility Study on a New Trimaran PCC in Strong Wind

在目前的工作中，提出了一种新的三体PCC，并对该船进行了可行性研究。在这项研究中，首先，有效马力（EHP）/车的PCC运行在静水中预测。通过与传统单体PCC的EHP/车的比较，发现三体PCC在相当高的速度下优于传统单体PCC。研究还发现，在PCC的共同服务速度下，小型PCC的EHP/车低于常规PCC。同时，模拟了在强风中运行的PCC阻力的增加。

In the present work, a new trimaran PCC is proposed and a feasibility study on the ship is carried out. In this study, first, the effective horse power(EHP)/car of the PCC running in still water is predicted. By comparing the predicted EHP/car with that of a conventional mono-hull PCC, it is found that the trimaran PCC is superior to a conventional mono-hull PCC at rather higher speed. It is also found that at common service speed of PCCs, the EHP/car of a small PCC is lower than that of the conventional PCC. Also, the increase of the resistance of PCCs running in strong wind is simulated.
