Description
Book SynopsisThis book offers an advanced course on “Computational Geometry for Ships”. It takes into account the recent rapid progress in this field by adapting modern computational methodology to ship geometric applications. Preliminary curve and surface techniques are included to educate engineers in the use of mathematical methods to assist in CAD and other design areas. In addition, there is a comprehensive study of interpolation and approximation techniques, which is reinforced by direct application to ship curve design, ship curve fairing techniques and other related disciplines. The design, evaluation and production of ship surface geometries are further demonstrated by including current and evolving CAD modelling systems.
Table of ContentsCurve definition; curve representation; curve generation; ship curve design; elementary mathematical properties of surfaces; the PDE method for surface generation; blend design; free-form surface design; numerical solutions of elliptic PDES; surface generation; ship surface design; analysis of surface fairness; hydrodynamic evaluation of generated surfaces.
