Journal of Hydronautics, 1967
Background information, characteristics, operational experience, and future plans for U. S. Navy hydrofoil craft are summarized. Included are the 120-ton hydrofoil patrol craft HIGHPOINT (PCH-1); the 320-ton experimental hydrofoil ship PLAIN VIEW (AGEH-1), largest in the world; the high-speed foil test platform FRESH I; and the hydrofoil gunboats ...

Investigations on cavitating hydrofoils
1965Experimental and theoretical results are presented for the non-cavitating and cavitating performances of a plano-convex hydrofoil in both the isolated and cascade configurations. In the isolated hydrofoil tests special emphasis is placed on the unsteady region of cavitation separating the partially cavitating region from the fully cavitating region ...

Shape Optimization of Hydrofoils
2012In this thesis, a genetic algorithm: GA) is employed for shape optimization of hydrofoils for application in a sailing craft. The hydrofoil for a sailing craft should have high lift at lower speeds and low drag at higher speeds. Computations are performed for a hydrofoil in deep water as well as one close to the free surface. The commercially available
