Springer - Power Prediction Modeling of High-Speed Craft

Power Prediction Modeling of Conventional High-Speed Craft by Springer provides a technical deep dive into the essential design objectives for high-speed vessels. This book focuses on the various power prediction methods required for displacement, semi-displacement, and planing type craft. By utilizing mathematical models built from experimental data, readers can explore how different high-speed hull and propeller series influence performance. The text examines the application of regression analysis and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) methods as tools for model extraction. It addresses the most significant factors involved in in-service power prediction, including bare hull resistance, dynamic trim, and the open-water efficiency of propellers. This resource is designed for professionals and researchers seeking to understand the mathematical foundations and data-driven approaches used in modern naval architecture and high-speed craft design.
