DOI: 10.1016/j.oceaneng.2021.109719
Abstract: Abstract To improve the stability performance of the trimaran, appendages were usually installed. Installing a larger-area appendage will increase the ship's resistance, and a smaller-area appendage has a limited stabilizing effect. Therefore, the design of… read more here.
