Study on Harmonization of Formative Design and Hull Design of Mega-Yacht Based on Integrated Software Platform

摘要

The study on harmonization of mega-yachts’ individualized formativedesign above the waterline and hull lines design below the waterlinehas not been conducted systematically yet. In this paper, taking megayachtover 150 feet as research object, it aims at the wind resistanceperformance variation of the superstructure of the mega-yacht causedby different formative shapes as well as weight and the position ofcenter of gravity of the yacht variation caused by different generalarrangement of cabins and equipments according to differentperformance requirement from mega-yacht owner. This paper coversthe following content: harmonization study on formative design fromthe aesthetic angle; harmonization study on the whole ship weight,center of gravity and the hull shape that is based on the owner’sperformance requirement; wind resistance performance study based onCFD numerical simulation on different formative shape of thesuperstructure. The method of rapid formation of the yacht hull belowwaterline after the determination of individualized formative design ofyacht’s superstructure and the determination of general arrangement ofcabins and major equipments is put up with, which do contribution tostudy for mega-yacht’s formative and hull harmonization.
