COMPUTATIONAL METHODS IN SHIP HYDRODYNAMICS

In recent years, research has resulted in the development of analytical ship design techniques which can be of significant assistance to the naval architect. Described herein are several of these techniques and a suggested method for their application to displacement ship hull form development and performance prediction. Utilization of this method once it has been fully developed could result in a significant reduction of man-hours required for a given hull form design. /Author/
