Ship hydrodynamics is a key discipline in ship design. It determines, to a large extent, two fundamental properties inherent to any new design: the safety of a ship on one hand and the efficiency on the other. While the entire, holistic ship design as anticipated in the HOLISHIP (www.holiship.eu) project aims to balance the two requirements in an optimised way, hydrodynamic considerations will form a set of boundary conditions for the achievable optimum. The present chapter introduces the key elements requiring hydrodynamic analysis and presents relevant tools available to achieve adequate results during different design stages for a new ship. The focus is placed on the tools which are or will be integrated into the HOLISHIP design platforms during the project and how they can be put to use during different stages of ship design.

Abstract
Ship hydrodynamics is a key discipline in ship design. It determines, to a large extent, two fundamental properties inherent to any new design: the safety of a ship on one hand and the efficiency on the other. While the entire, holistic ship design as anticipated in the HOLISHIP (www.holiship.eu) project aims to balance the two requirements in an optimised way, hydrodynamic considerations will form a set of boundary conditions for the achievable optimum. The present chapter introduces the key elements requiring hydrodynamic analysis and presents relevant tools available to achieve adequate results during different design stages for a new ship. The focus is placed on the tools which are or will be integrated into the HOLISHIP design platforms during the project and how they can be put to use during different stages of ship design.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
