Fishing vessels hull shape optimization

Abstract: When designing a vessel, the particular hull shape is selected depending on the type and purpose of the vessel, as well as on the longstanding operational and engineering experience, research results, etc. As evidenced in practice, numerical methods of research are obviously more preferable (in terms of costs and time) compared to experimental methods mainly based on pilot testing – for instance, selection of proper shape of the vessel’s hull using the trial and error method. According to the authors of the article, the method of numerical modeling quite close to the experimental one is very convenient for hull shape design. This paper covers the results of optimizing the hull shape of a fishing vessel using numerical methods which can not only determine the best parameters of the hull shape from the point of minimal resistance, but can also ensure that all requirements for the elements of the surface of the hull are properly met.
Keywords: hull shape optimization, fishing vessels, water resistance.
