Modelling yacht residuary resistance

Version: 2026-09-21

The UCI Delft Yacht Hydrodynamics dataset contains 308 records. The supplied project uses 186 training, 61 validation and 61 testing records. Repeated operating conditions for related hulls make hull-level validation important when claiming transfer to a new design.

The model is not a substitute for a towing-tank campaign or a validated hydrodynamic calculation. Predictions may be negative because the exported model does not clamp resistance. Restrict exploratory use to represented configurations, preserve coupled geometric constraints and review physical plausibility.

Open the .nd project in Neural Designer. Its embedded data, parameters, saved sample roles and task report are preserved. If the original CSV path is unavailable, select the CSV included here. The source CSV may include unused columns; the embedded project defines the exact modelling schema.

The charts/ directory contains standalone HTML exported with the application chart builder. The schema and test-metrics files identify the exact inputs, outputs, evidence and source hash.

The original HTML expression is included unchanged. native-model.js contains the same mathematical functions extracted from it.
