    Abstract
    High speed crafts due to their design, geometry, one of the parameters to improve the performance of hydrodynamic elements such as trim tabs, bow thruster, steps and Spray rails.Step is an element which change height of bottom and due to reduce wetted area and extra lift and finally cause to improve drag of vessel.In this thesis we have evaluated numerically and compared with experimental tests on planning crafts in calm water and waves, and the effects on the motions of floating and drag floating are compared.Numerical analysis is conducted to help Ansys.CFX software. First, to provide 2D modeling and analyzing real-bodies floating in calm water and waves with simple, step-paid. The...
