최소(最小) 저항(抵抗) 이론(理論)에 입각한 최적(最適) 선형(船型) 개발(開發)에 관한 연구(硏究)

As a way of overcoming or improving the great depression in he world shipping and shipbuilding industries, a great effort has been made on the development of fuel-economic hull forms. Recently, the author(s) had presented part of the results of his study on this subject(full slow speed ships) in PRADS 83, and are presently carrying out the research program on the same subject for fine fast speed ships. This paper is the introduction and summary of the basic concept and mathematical treatment applied in this research.
