Trimaran Hydrofoil Turning Analysis

I have a planning main hull with two submerged side hulls—a trimaran fitted with removable hydrofoils—and I need its turning-circle characteristics quantified both with the foils installed and with the bare hull. You will be working with the hull’s principal dimensions and weight, which I already have; any other hydrodynamic coefficients should be generated or estimated as part of the study.

Please run the manoeuvring simulations in ANSYS Aqwa and extract the standard parameters: advance, tactical diameter, transfer, steady-turning heel, yaw rate build-up, and any other metrics normally reported for IMO turning tests. I’m looking for insight into how the foils influence overall manoeuvrability, so present the results in a clear side-by-side comparison with concise commentary.

Because I need the findings urgently, plan the workflow so that I can see preliminary plots quickly, then follow up with a short report and the Aqwa project files.
