Research on an Automatic Generated Method of High-Speed Surface Vessel Molded Lines

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to describe a design method, called “mathematical ship” of high-speed surface vessel. This method is created by the application of modeling principle. First, we should figure out the geometric properties and satisfied definite conditions of the ship lines according to the designed ship type. And then, we use definite conditions to determine the shape function or offset value function which expresses the designed hull lines. Experiments indicate that this “Mathematics Ship ” method can automatically obtain offsets table, molded lines, and the three-dimensional figure from any view of the ship without given offset table. The important performance of the designed ship, for instance stability performance and least resistance can be guaranteed. This method can be used for concept design phase, and it’s convenient to optimize ship type when combined with “Mathematic Ship Pool”.
