Hull shape optimization

In-house algorithm that optimizes hull resistance using resistance, hydrostatics and CFD data while accounting for stability and dynamic capability.

Description

C-Job's proprietary hull shape optimization tool, developed by its R&D department, learns from resistance and hydrostatics data combined with Computational Fluid Dynamics. In each iteration, new hull shape parameters are automatically modelled on a 3D platform and re-analyzed, after which naval architects assess the result and report their findings.

Key features

  • Algorithm trained on resistance, hydrostatics and CFD data
  • Takes stability and dynamic capability into account
  • Automatic 3D modelling of new hull parameters in each iteration
  • Results reviewed by naval architects

Applications

  • Optimizing speed, fuel consumption and ease of construction
  • Lowering building (CAPEX) and operating (OPEX) costs
