The optimization method used is Sequential Unconstrained Minimization Technique - SUMT, which can treat equality and inequality, or only inequality constraints. Both approaches are shown. Application is given for Wageningen B-series and Gawn series propellers. The problem is solved on an Apple II microcomputer. One of the advantages of treating the constrained problem is that the user's knowledge about propellers is not essential, the process is automatic. More realistic propellers are found when design constraints such as D subscript max, N subscript min, and/or Ae/Ao subscript min are applied. Treating blade area ratio as an independent variable shows that, for some cases, higher BAR may be a better choice than lower BAR value.

For better insights of both resistance components and hull-propeller interaction, see ITTC (2011) "Recommended Procedures and Guidelines for High Speed Marine Vehicles". Practical and up-to-date recommendations for the evaluation of various additional components, as well as step-by-step HSC powering procedures, are discussed in the Blount book (2014).

So the first instance should be deleted and the second one should be retained. In Chapter 3, Tables 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 need to be used in same formatting, either in portrait or in landscape. In Chapter 4, Page 58, the symbol "v" should be replaced with "v" in three of the occurrences. The correction chapters and the book have been updated with the changes.

Beside necessary costs for the development of a new concept, amongst the reasons are that innovations are not so easily accepted by the rather conservative IW shipping society.

Mathematical models for prediction of bare hull resistance and propeller's open water efficiency ... more Mathematical models for prediction of bare hull resistance and propeller's open water efficiency have been outlined in Chaps. 8 and 9, respectively. These parameters are order of magnitude more significant than other HSC powering components and as such are the focus of this book. Nevertheless, accurate power prediction involves other resistance and propulsion components, and hence a few approximate methods, as well as worked examples, for the prediction of these factors are also given in this chapter. The current section consists of four parts, following similar logic as was used in Chap. 5: • Section 10.1.1 presents the empirical equations for evaluation of appendage resistance (Note: Appendage lift is assumed to be negligible) Electronic supplementary material The online version of this chapter (
