Abstract :
This effort is focused on hydrodynamic shape optimization with application to naval vehicles. At present, this is mainly applied to US Navy surface combatant hull forms and related systems; however, this approach could also be applied to other marine applications. In addition, this effort is aimed at assessing the current use of hydrodynamic analysis tools as a part of the ship design process and the need to perform proper validation of the tools to provide confidence in their use.
