Unreferenced date December 2009 A tunnel hull is a type of boat hull that uses two typically planing hulls with a solid center that traps air. This entrapment then creates aerodynamic lift in addition to the planing hydrodynamic lift from the hulls. Many times this is attributed to ground effect . Theoretical research and full scale testing of tunnel hulls has demonstrated the dramatic contributions of close proximity ground effect on enhanced aerodynamic lift drag in operation of performance tunnel hull designs. ref Secrets of Tunnel Boat Design , JDRussell,P.Eng.
