hull form optimization

Hull form optimization refers to the design process of improving the shape of a ship's hull to enhance its performance in water. This involves adjusting the hull's dimensions and contours to reduce drag, increase speed, improve fuel efficiency, and enhance stability. Engineers use various techniques, including computer simulations and model testing, to analyze how different designs perform under different conditions. The goal is to create a hull that maximizes efficiency and effectiveness while minimizing resistance against water, ultimately leading to better operational costs and improved environmental impact.
