Abstract
The prediction of ship resistance is the most important part of the ship's hydrodynamic design. Nowadays, computational methods are used as a common tool for this purpose. Ship total resistance calculation by using two phase numerical method based on the Reynolds-averaged Naiver–Stokes solution requires high computational power. The idea of total resistance decomposition based on the physical cause is a basic principle in the ship hydrodynamic. In the proposed hybrid method, wave making resistance part is calculated by using Michell Integral and viscous part is computed by numerical solution of one phase viscous flow for double body condition. Computations are performed for 10 velocities from Fn = 0.06-0.62 and at each velocity the percentage of every component calculated. Hybrid method reduce computational time. To investigate the results, tow phase simulations are performed for a SWATH vessel. On average, there are 7% difference between the results obtained from hybrid and two phase method and computational time in hybrid method is 97% less than two phase method.
