A Study on Hull-form Design of a Passenger Ship According to the Location Change of Section Lines
The purpose of this study is to investigate the interrelationship of how the ship's wave resistance performance changes with the change of the longitudinal position of the section line in the ship's lines, and to find a way to use it in the hull-form design. To this end, we developed a hull-form automatic change algorithm that can maintain the proper hull-form while moving the section lines in the longitudinal direction, and the computer program for a numerical analysis was developed to apply the developed algorithm. By applying the developed hull-form automatic change algorithm and the wave resistance performance prediction program, the numerical analysis package was constructed. The numerical analysis was carried out for the passenger ship. Numerical analyzes were carried out by moving the section lines of the passenger ship in the longitudinal direction, and the results were compared with each other. Based on the numerical results, we attempted to investigate the correlation between the section line movement and the wave resistance performance.
