Abstract
The symposium proceedings include twelve technical papers
on hydrodynamics, ship
structures and ship machinery. Three papers give a state
of the art -presentation to each of
these sectors. Other papers describe selected special
topics. Three separate introductory papers
evaluate the current demands from the industry's points
of wiev.
Design process of a modern ship involves many complicated
tasks. Accurate and reliable
results are required. While the demands have continuously
grown more stringent, the time
available for them is shortened. The ships differ more
and more from their precessors. This is
particularly true to the high speed multi-hull prototype
vessels.
The rapidly expanding data processing capacity has been
widely utilized in ship design. This
potential was has been long exploited in hull geometry,
general space arrangement and
shipyard production orientated systems.
The symposium on Numerical tools for ship design
describes the current research areas of
VTT and HUT ship laboratories. Remarkable progress is
continuously being made in the
modelization of physical phenomena. The results are
improved ship performance and
reliability, safer navigation and seakeeping as well as
lower vibration and noise levels.
