Abstract With the rapid development of computer technology and the continuous improvement of optimization theory, optimization techniques have been introduced into the field of ship design. Optimization algorithms and advanced CFD techniques are successfully integrated together into what is known as Simulation- Based Design (SBD) techniques, which opens a new situation for hull-form optimization design and configuration innovation. In this paper, fundamental elements of the SBD techniques are described and crucial components are analyzed profoundly. Focus is on breaking through key technologies as hull geometry modification and reconstruction, global optimization algorithms, and codes integration. Combined with high-fidelity CFD codes (on RANS),… More >
