Abstract
The paper presents recent research conducted within the NATO RTO Task Group AVT-204 “Assess the Ability to Optimize Hull Forms of Sea Vehicles for Best Performance in a Sea Environment.” The objective is the improvement of the hydrodynamic performances (resistance/powering requirements, seakeeping, etc.) of naval vessels, by integration of computational methods used to generate, evaluate, and optimize hull-form variants. Several optimization approaches are brought together and compared. A multi-objective optimization of the DTMB 5415 (specifically the MARIN variant 5415M) is used as a test case and results obtained so far using low-fidelity solvers show an average improvement for resistance and seakeeping performances of nearly 10 and 9%, respectively.
