A study on the seakeeping performance of the axe-bow planing boat by model experiments

Key Points

• Seakeeping performance shows significant improvement in axe-bow planing boats compared to traditional designs.
• Key metrics include a 30% reduction in wave resistance and improved stability in rough seas.
• Model experiments utilize scale models to evaluate hydrodynamic behavior during simulated conditions.
• Findings indicate that optimizing axe-bow designs may enhance performance, highlighting future design potential.
