... Together with the wave spectrum of the race area the prediction of total resistance of candidate hulls is made and the optimum hull of statistically minimum resistance is selected. Thus the advanced hull design method by simulation is composed as shown in the flow chart of Fig.

... The reliability of the CFD simulation by PPS (WISDAM-VI) during the design procedure with 210 hull forms is, grossly speaking, 75%, which means that the relative relation between two designed hulls is 75% correct.

... For low and middle speed ships the bulbous bulb with sphere-shaped head configuration is no more used but bulbs with long protrusion and sharp entrance are designed mostly based on the understanding of the presence of free-surface shock wave. However for high speed ships, of which draft changes only slightly, an old-fashioned cylindrical bulb or so-called SV-type bulb are efficient to reduce wave resistance.

... Since the CPU time for one case of and JPN52 were mostly made by the first version ofPPS computation is several hours and the hull form for the steady sailing. It may be safe to say that the modification is made by CAD process with some hours CAD/CFD system was satisfactorily applied to one of of labor, it may be noted that the hull form optimization the most difficult hull design problem.
