Hull optimisation for propulsion system performance
Research Project, 2016
– 2018
The project aims to develop hull shape optimisation procedures with the objective to reduce the required Power. This in turn relies on three sub-objectives:
- Improved understanding of propulsion system interaction effects to efficiently identify key parameters for the optimisation;
- Development of suitable optimisation algorithm set-ups for commercial design time scales;
- Identification of analysis tool necessary to capture correct level of flow physics to yield reliable optimisation results.
