    Assuming:

    1. Planing speeds
    2. Infinite power

    I am researching high speed vessels and maneuvering capabilities and I am looking for advice/previous research on how increasing displacement effects a planing hull. I am particularly interested in Beam/Disp^(1/3) effects on planing vessels, ie

    At constant Fn number, how does the same vessel with a high Beam Disp ratio perform relative to a vessel with a low Beam Disp Ratio?

    I assume higher trim, deeper draft, but any more specifics especially regarding steady turning. All help is greatly appreciated.

    These diagrams show effect of chine beam Bc on resistance R, for two displacements, for 10m powerboat.

    Get a copy of the Series 62 and Series 65 planing data (Most of it is condensed in Principles of Naval Architecture). FWIW, I really don't see how normalizing data on Beam/Disp^(1/3) will be of any use. With a constant displacement, varying the beam also requres a change in deadrise, length, or both; and those two factors will be of more influence than beam. Especially on maneuvering.

    Alik, can you tell me the source of this graph, it is useful. Cheers
