In order to support development of computational fluid dynamics codes for high-speed, small-craft applications, laboratory experiments were performed on a representative of Deep-V planing craft model. The measurements included resistance, sinkage and trim, hull pressure measurements, longitudinal wavecuts, and bow-wave and stern-wake topologies. The model was towed in calm water over a speed range of 1.78 to 14.2 m/s (5.8 to 46.6 ft/s) corresponding to a Froude number range of 0.31 to 2.5. At planing speeds, +8 m/s (+26.2 ft/s), the model was run with the addition of trim tabs set at two different angles, 7 and 13 degrees. Photographic documentation, including still photographs and video, was recorded during the collection of all the data. Numerical simulation of the flow field was performed utilizing the Numerical Flow Analysis (NFA) code and compared to the model test results.
