RAPID

The computer program RAPID calculates the steady inviscid flow around a ship hull, the wave pattern and the wave resistance. It solves the exact, fully non-linear potential flow problem by an iterative procedure, based on a raised-panel method. Since RAPID was developed at MARIN (1990 - 1994), it has been routinely applied in practical ship hull design. Continuous further development has extended the applicability and improved the efficiency and accuracy. Today it is one of the best known codes worldwide in the field of resistance and flow.
