title = "Optimization validation of a high-speed boat",
abstract = "An optimization of an 80 foot, canoe stern boat with integrated lifting surfaces was performed using automatic geometry morphing and potential flow methods. The optimization looked to improve the flat water efficiency across the speed range as well as the unsteady motions in a seaway across the speed range. The goal was to show that benevolent wave cancellation could be produced at multiple speeds through simultaneous changes in hull shape and lifting surface size and placement while still maintaining a boat with very good seakeeping behavior. A propeller was designed for the optimized boat. A model boat and propeller were built and tested at 1/10th scale at the Stevens Institute tow tank both for steady resistance and propulsive performance. The steady resistance results were validated against CFD and the correlation was within 2% of the predicted values lending confidence that the optimization process is valid. The propulsive efficiency was compared and the correlation was good at most advance coefficients with some discrepancies at values around 1.5.",
