Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Naval architecture has been one of the most vital applied sciences since the beginning of maritime history, allowing oceans and seas to become worldwide connections for humans. Nowadays, technical, economical and environmental threats stimulate new ship forms and concepts which tools and technologies in continuous development allow to become a reality. Hydrodynamic design, on which development in the field is based, is the basis of any ship or small craft project. The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish the most interesting research about the development of new hull forms, the hydrodynamic optimization of them and of existing ones, and the development of new tools for hydrodynamic performance optimization and assessment. This SI provides a rapid turn-around time of reviewing and publishing and a free dissemination of the articles, available for research, teaching, and reference.

High-quality papers related to the aspects listed below (among others) are encouraged.

  • New and original hull forms.
  • Advances in motion resistance optimization.
  • Hydrodynamic issues for sustainable ships and shipping
  • High-speed-craft hydrodynamics.

CAD software is a daily tool in ship design offices and shipyards, and every software uses NURBS or B-splines curves and surfaces as common foundations. The CAD tools of today are not static software products and most of them now include parametric design modules, which enable users to change the shape of an object based on its key geometric feature parameters with the use of sliders or equivalent controls. Although B-spline techniques are commonly applied to the representation of the ship hull curves and surfaces, the parametric deformation of the hull surfaces based on geometric parameters is less used. This paper presents a methodology to define the parametric definition of a ship hull with the use of a standard and non-specialized CAD software that is of common use in the ship design offices and universities: Rhinoceros. The presented parametric design methodology will use specific ship hull parameters or feature parameters with a clear geometric meaning, such as displacement, waterplane area, LCB, and LCF, together with the properties of the B-spline curves and the power of Grasshopper, the parametric design tool inside Rhinoceros, to create parametric ship hulls.

The importance of comfort during transfer and stationing becomes a key performance parameter for large yacht design, on the same level as propulsive issues. Such a matter extends questions in terms of form and service demand to the motion behaviour of the unit in waves. Relevant studies refer to outdated hull forms not specific to modern large yachts. In this study, five hull forms with different bow concepts represent the most common design solutions for yachts at constant draught and displacement. The preliminary ranking on the effect of alternative bows on comfort requires the definition of internationally accepted comfort standards. Here, the AWI 22834 guidelines for large yachts provide the service and environmental conditions and criteria for the comfort analysis, being the only reference specific to yachts. The calculations employ a strip-theory-based numerical model to provide results of easy understanding for designers during the early design stage. The obtained ranking among the design solutions on a reference large yacht favours the option nested with a bulb, contradicting the expectations in favour of a vertical bow concept. The discussion and conclusions provide a way forward for additional analyses and investigations aimed at proposing suitable multicriterial design guidelines for large yachts. However, the results also show the unsuitability of AWI environmental and encounter conditions for hull form ranking. Full article
