This would primarily be addressed to Rick, but if anyone else might have some ideas, I'd certainly be interested...

 

I started getting pretty comfortable with Michlet, but Godzilla I had far less exposure.  It seemed to barely improve on the hull that I eye-balled while drawing up in DelftShip.  However, I get the feeling that I wasn't using it to its full potential and didn't really give it the free reign it would have preferred.

 

In those studies, I was mainly shooting for the "max speed" condition with the windward hull flying and the leeward hull taking all the load, but not having to contend with waves from the windward hull.

 

Now, I'd like to do some analysis using the hulls as they are designed, but varying the, speed, roll angles and pitch angles... and mainly trying to optimize the hull seperation based on the wave interactions. 

 

Would anyone have an example that would give me a jumping off point?

 

Thanks,

Dennis
