This study investigates the analysis algorithm for developing an optimum hull form with minimum wave resistance by using the practical application of one minus prismatic. In this algorithm the potential-based panel method was adopted to get the wave resistance coefficient as the objective function and SQP method was applied as an optimizer to get the optimum hull form. As an target ship, the series 60(CB=0.6) was taken into account and LBP(length between perpendiculars) of the ship was changed in the direction including a central parallel portion. To verity the validity of this study, the results of the numerical analyses were compared with experimental data.
