Superyachts are passenger vessels whose hull exceeds 24m. They are a kind of luxurious leisure ships. Interior designers can contribute in the field of space design of superyachts. This study is intended to investigate the space elements and their organization of superyachts for putting the base of superyachts interior design. Especially it is focused on the interior space division by structural elements such as the watertight bulkheads and decks. In this study we analyze general arrangements, floor plans of decks, of 31 superyachts and extract space elements and their disposition in three dimension. On the basis of the space arrangement we classify the types of space organization of superyachts. And then we inquire the interior space division of superyachts, which is characterized by the structural elements of the ship. The watertight compartments made by the bulkheads and decks have a great effect on interior space design in super yachts. The results of this study are summed up as follows: At first, the small-size superyacht has 3 decks and the midium or large-size superyachts has 4decks. Secondly, depending on the number of decks the superyachts has several typical patterns of space organization. Thirdly, in general there are 5-6 watertight compartments on a deck depending on the superyachts scale. Finally, there are distinct separation between the passenger's movement and the crew's movement on the ship.

본 연구는 길이가 23m를 넘는 수퍼요트를 대상으로 외관 디자인 요소와 그 특징을 조사하였다. 본 연구에서는 선박의 상부가 돛이 아닌 건축적 요소인 캐빈(cabin)으로 구성되고 장기간 원거리 항해를 위해 실내거주공간을 뚜렷하게 갖춘 모터요트를 중심으로 조사 분석하였다. 수퍼요트를 대상으로 선박 외관에 영향을 주는 선과 이에 관련된 디자인 요소를 분석하여 유형별로 특징을 도출하고 이와 관련된 외관 디자인 스타일을 연구함으로서 수퍼요트 외관 디자인을 위한 기초 자료를 제시하였다.

A preliminary design approach for superyachts is introduced. The state-of-the-arts of superyachts is investigated and their characteristics are indirectly examined by analyzing the data collected from built vessels. The analysis of data provides a guideline for the establishment of an preliminary hull form of a superyacht. The rules and regulations governing the design and construction of superyachts are collected and considered. A modeling approach for prompt and efficient design is also introduced. A sample hull form of a selected superyacht is constructed using commercial design packages not only to produce a hull form but to analyze the hydrostatic and hydrodynamic performances of the constructed vessel. Various visualization techniques are considered as an efficient tool for design verification.

A concept of preliminary design for mid-size superyachts is explored. First, the profile of a superyacht is interactively designed with the help of freeform curve functionality and graphical user interface (GUI) based interaction. The hull form is then constructed using major characteristic curves such as design waterline, deck sideline, and sections in addition to the predefined profile curve. After exterior hull modeling is done, the arrangement of significant interior spaces of all decks is carried out. A genetic algorithm is exploited to find a space arrangement by considering space fitness values, space proximity, and stairs connectivity of relevant spaces. A goal of the paper is to offer a step-by-step procedure for superyacht design from scratch or when initial information is not sufficient for complete design. For this purpose, a GUI based superyacht design system is developed. This design approach is expected to help users interactively design mid-size superyachts.

There are various hull types on the mid-size superyachts around $30\;{\sim}\;45m$. In any case, it is important to design the proper hull shape in viewpoint of the reduction of wave resistance, because small vessels such as superyachts are running at relatively higher Froude Number than other merchant ships. FLUENT with a VOF option was employed to investigate the flow fields around the superyachts having three-typical hull types: U-, V-types and catamaran. Overall performances including free surface flow were compared to figure out hydrodynamic characteristics of superyachy by numerical simulation.

As a preliminary step to build a complete superyacht hull design program, the development of superyacht profile design system is introduced. The two-dimensional hull profile is decomposed into four local zones depending upon the functionality and connecting continuity of the profile. Characteristics of each zone are investigated and used to generate the model describing the geometric shape of zone using freeform curves. A set of design parameters is derived from the established geometric model. Generation and modification of a model are is by manipulating the chosen parameters. Four zones designed are integrated to form a final profile. An interactive design system performing all the modeling and modification processes is implemented using the graphic user interface system based an Microsoft Foundation Class and OpenCASCADE, a open graphic library. The shapes of the profiles generated by the developed design system are verified with those of built superyachts. The developed design system will be used for the construction of three-dimensional superyacht hull modeling system.
