Practical Shape Optimisation Using CFD
By FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMSThis paper aims to provide an overview of practical vessel shape optimisation using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to inform the reader of the common techniques and typical applications, illustrated along projects realised within the Upfront CAE system CAESES®.
The paper addresses engineers facing optimisation projects, managers wishing to get a general understanding, and students developing an interest in the field of shape optimisation for ships using CFD.
