Outrigger RC boat model hull development as a high speed craft based on resistance and lift force

Abstract

A hull development of outrigger RC boat model, which was made as planing hull was carried out numerically. The observation focus on the analysis of resistance and lift force which were produced by the boat while cruising that can enhance the performance and also help the boat to reach her best speed. The numerical study was using Ansys fluent code for resistance and lift force analysis. The overall results were further compared with the published data for verification purpose. The results are also believed can be useful in the development of the high speed boat model, especially in outrigger class.
