Abstract
The paper describes the application of multi-criteria optimization to monohull and multihull yacht configurations. The paper outlines the process (involving concept exploration, formal optimization and simulations), key techniques, employed software tools and results. The analyses combine efficient low-fidelity design exploration with high-fidelity CFD simula-tions for accurate results. The process allows advancing unconventional designs in relatively short time exploiting the power of parallel computing and virtual prototyping. For yachts, “performance” improvement encompasses besides energy efficiency also aspects of passenger comfort. Examples, sometimes anonymized, from industry practice are used to illus-trate approach and possible achievements.
