Description
In the field of hydrodynamics, various methods have been developed for the prediction of calm water resistance and manoeuvring characteristics. These methods range from rather simple empirical methods to very advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). In ship design, Computer Aided Design (CAD) applications mainly focus on the description of the geometry of the ship and the calculation of hydrostatic properties. Considerable attention has been given to drawing systems and connectivity to systems for supporting the production process of ships - Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM). This volume reviews the rapid advances that have been made in computer applications to ship hydrodynamics and ship design, due to developments in the performance of computer hardware. Special attention is paid to the integration of hydrostatic calculations in ship design software offering new possibilities to ship designers for optimizing the design of ships.
