Abstract
A three-dimensional numerical model using vortex lattice methods (VLMs ) is developed to solve the steady planing problem. Planing hydrodynam ics have similarities to the aerodynamic swept wing problem-the fundam ental difference being the existence of a free surface. Details of the solution scheme are discussed, including the special features of the VLM used here in obtaining accurate flows at the leading and side edge s. Computational results are presented and compared with existing theo ries and experiments.
