Refinement strategies for wave-resistance estimations using IGABEM solvers and a NURBS based parametric model

Abstract

In this work we present our recent progress towards the development of a parametric model that will be able to generate analysis-suitable representations, which can accurately approximate existing ship hulls with a reduced number of control points. Second part of the work deals with implementing two adaptive refinement strategies with a goal of achieving required accuracy in field quantities with relatively lower costs, and which will finally allow us to calculate ship wave resistance.
