In general, ship hull form design is carried out in two stages. In the first stage, the longitudinal variation of the sectional area curves is adapted from a similar mother ship to determine the volume distribution in ships. At this design stage, the initial design conditions of displacement, longitudinal center of buoyancy, etc. are satisfied and the global hydrodynamic properties of the structure are optimized. The second stage includes the local designing of the sectional forms. Sectional forms are related to the local pressure resistance in the fore- and aft-body shapes, cargo boundaries, interaction between the hull and propeller, etc. These relationships indicate that the hull sections need to be optimized in order to minimize the local resistance. The volumetric balanced (VOB) variation of ship hull forms has been suggested by Kim (2013) as a generalized, systematic variation method for determining the sectional area curves in hull form design. This method is characterized by form parameters and is based on an optimization technique. This paper emphasizes on an extensional function of the VOB considering a geometrical wave profile. We select a container ship and an LNG carrier to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed technique. Through analysis, we confirm that the VOB method, considering the geometrical wave profile, can be used as an efficient tool in the hull form design for ships.

A design procedure for a ship with minimum total resistance was developed using a numerical optimization method called SQP(Sequential Quadratic Programming) and a CFD technique based on the Rankine source panel method with the nonlinear free surface boundary conditions. During the whole optimization process the geometry of the hull shape was represented based on the NURBS(Non-uniform rational B-spline) technique and the modification of the hull shape was controlled using the Bell-shaped distribution function to keep the fairness of the hull shape before and after the hull modification. The numerical analysis was carried out using 4000TEU container ship in the towing tank facility installed in the Pusan national university to know the validity of the developed algorithm for this study. As the results of the numerical analysis it proved that the resistance of the optimized hull is conspicuously reduced in comparison with the original hull in a wave-making resistance point of view.

Fundamental Study for optimizing ship hull form using SQP(sequential quadratic programming) method in a resistance point of view is presented. The Wigley hull is used as an initial hull and numerical calculations are carried out according to various froude numbers. To obtain the ship resistance the wave resistance is evaluated by a Rankine source panel method with nonlinear free surface conditions and the ITTC 1957 friction line is used to predict the frictional resistance coefficient. The geometry of a hull surface is represented and modified by B-spline surface patch. The displacement and the waterplane transverse 2nd moment of inertia of the hull is fixed during the optimization process. And the shp design program called EzHULL is used to draw the lines of the optimized hull form to perform the model test.

Developing a minimum wave resistance hull form which is satisfying the given requirements such as displacement and speed is one of the important problems in ship hydrodynamics. The theoretical approach conducted by Pien was successful in developing an optimized hull form, however, which can not be applied directly to practical hull form without manual lines fairing process. To avoid this difficulty, source distribution which arrived after the optimization was put into a fictitious restricted channel and as a result practicably modified hull form was derived by stream line tracing. The wave resistance of the hull thus obtained was calculated by solving the simplified integral equation suggested by Kan. The resistance at design point is almost same with that of the original hull which was represented by source distribution on the vertical rectangular center plane. It is therefore recommended to use the derived hull form for the hull which obtained after manual lines fairing process at Pienoid method. Further researches both in theory and experiment are necessary before this concept is put into practical application.

In the present study, stern form optimization has been carried out using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques. The viscous pressure drag has been minimized to optimize stern shape. Parametric modification function has been used to modify the shape of the hull. By the use of the parametric modification function and algebraic scheme to grid manipulation, the initial ship geometry was easily deformed according to change of design parameters. For purpose of illustration, KRISO 319K VLCC (KVLCC) is chosen for example ship to demonstrate stern form optimization. The numerical results indicate that the optimized hull yields a reduction in viscous resistance.

This paper aims at contributing to the field of ship design by introducing new systematic variation methods for ship hull forms. Hull form design is generally carried out in two stages. The first is the global variation considering the sectional area curve. Because the geometric properties of a sectional area curve have a decisive effect on the global hydrodynamic properties of ships, the design of a sectional area curve that satisfies various global design conditions, e.g., the displacement, longitudinal center of buoyancy, etc., is important in the initial hull form design stage. The second stage involves the local design of section forms. Section forms affect the local hydrodynamic properties, e.g., the local pressure in the fore- and aftbody. This paper deals with a new method for the systematic variation of sectional area curves. The longitudinal volume distribution of a ship depends on the sectional area curve, which can geometrically be controlled using parametric variation and a variation that uses the modification function. Based on these methods, we suggest a more generalized method in connection with the derivation of the lines for a new design compared to those for similar ships. This is the so-called the volumetric balanced variation (VOB) method for ship forms using a B-spline modification function and an optimization technique. In this paper the global geometric properties of hull forms are totally controlled by the form parameters. We describe the new method and some application examples in detail.

본 논문에서는 선체로부터 멀리 전파해 나아가는 선형파와 선체 가까이에 존재하는 쇄파로 인한 조파저항성분을 최소화시키는 방법을 보여준다. 본 방법은 선형조파저항의 최적화 방법과 시험자료 분석을 통한 쇄파저항의 통계적 최적화방법으로 구성된다. 응용목적으로서, 수선형상이 포물선이고 측면이 수직한 모형을 기본선형으로 택하였고, 선형파를 최적화하는 방법과 경험적인 방법을 통하여서 선체전반부의 횡단면적 곡선을 변화시킨 두척의 수정모형선을 얻었다. 3척의 선형에 대한 시험 및 분석결과로부터 선체전반부의 횡단면적 곡선의 변화에 따른 선형파저항과 쇄파저항과의 상관관계를 살펴보았다. 본 방법으로 선체전반부가 최적화된 선형은 설계속도($F_n=0.26$)에서 기본선형에 비하여 약 47%의 조파저항감소를 보이고 있다.

In the present study, we suggest a new method for designing complex ship hull forms with multiple domain B-spline surfaces accounting for their topological arrangement, where all subdomains are fully defined in terms of form parameters, e.g., positional, differential and integral descriptors. For the construction of complex hull forms, free-form elementary models such as forebody, afterbody and bulbs are united by Boolean operation and blending surfaces in compliance with the sectional area curve (SAC) of the whole ship. This new design process in this paper is called Sectional Area Curve-Balanced Parametric Design (SAC-BPD).

In this paper, we propose a systematic hull form variation technique which automatically satisfies the displacement constraint and guarantees a high level of fairness. This method is possible through multiple parameter correction curves. The present method is to improve the hull form variation method based on parametric modification function and consists of two sub-categories: SAC variation and section lines modification. For SAC variation, the utilization of two B-Spline curves satisfying GC¹ condition led to the satisfaction of displacement constraint and high level of fairness at the same time. Section lines modification methods involves in using two fuctions: the first is the waterplane modification function combining two cubic splines. the other function is the sectional area modification function consisting of 2nd order polynomial over the DLWL(Design Load Waterline) and 3rd order polynomial below the DLWL, This function enables not only the fundamental U-V section shape variation but also systematically modified section lines. The present method is expected to be more useful in the hull form optimization process using CFD compared to the existing method.
