Hydrodynamic Design of Ship Hull Shapes by Methods of Computational Fluid Dynamics

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry ((ECMI,volume 9))

Abstract

In this article the problem of ship hull shape improvement for reduced drag is described from the viewpoint of mathematical optimization. The approach concentrates on methods of shape variation and flow analysis by Computational Fluid Dynamics. This still evolving methodology will be illustrated by a few examples of hydrodynamic design.
