Abstract

A methodology to derive parametric hull design candidates with a specified displacement and initial stability is introduced. A gradient-free search and optimisation algorithm coupled to a RANS CFD solver is then used to identify efficient pure-displacement hull shapes with minimal hydrodynamic resistance operating in the transition speed region without relying on dynamic lift.
