1. IntroductionThe interaction and movement between ships and waves are of utmost importance for ship handling and safety at sea. Understanding how waves influence a ship’s behavior, stability, and navigational challenges is vital to ensuring the safety of vessels, crew, cargo, and the environment. This helps optimize ship handling, cargo stability, emergency response, and vessel design while minimizing environmental impact.

1. IntroductionIn recent years, green ships have become an important topic in ship design and research. The concept of the green ship is intended to reduce environmental pollution in ship construction, navigation, and scrapping. Fuel consumption is one of the biggest operating costs and the main problem affecting the environment in ship operation [1,2,3,4], and how to reduce it is an important issue in green ships research.

Abstract:In this paper, the air lubrication method is applied to high-speed SWATH (small waterplane area twin hull) to reduce the resistance. The influence of air injection locations on drag reduction is investigated. The computed results are compared with experimental results, and the grid independence test is performed. Then, the numerical method is used to simulate the resistance of SWATH in calm water with airflow.
