  • 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.
