Abstract

Simple design formulae for resistance and power prediction for SWATH ships are derived using Artificial Neural Nets. These formulae can be programmed easily in spreadsheets or optimization routines. The formulae were derived from a database compiled at ENSIETA and are supplemented by previous work. The experience with the presented applications shows that artificial neural nets allow often a better approximation of data than classic regression analysis, but this is largely due to the more adaptable functional relations.
