I recently co-authored a book on Small Waterplane Area Ships. More information about this book and its contents can be found at the Publisher web-site.

My contributions to this book include a scale effect in model testing, wave resistance calculation, hydrofoil hydrodynamics, drag reduction by artificial cavitation, and concept design of future SWATH. My section on hydrofoils covers lift and drag of low- and high- aspect ratio hydrofoils (including free surface effects), cavitation, vortex-wash wake behind a foil, and unsteady effects.
