Abstract

ABSTRACT The paper surveys the development of practical ship hull optimization over more than five decades and trends to extrapolate to (likely) future applications. The paper looks at individual elements of hull optimization, such as geometric model, hydrodynamic model, optimization algorithms, and objective functions (and constraints). For all elements, the discussion includes further room for improvement or further R&D efforts.
