The guy seems to be a bit of a crank. I'm a little confused exactly where he fits in at KTH. I went to his home page at...
It's one of those unfortunate facts of reality that it's actually very difficult (to the point of being practically impossible in many cases) to...
Turning a lines plan into a fair 3D model of a surface is very tricky. It's much harder than starting from scratch. There's no obvious way to do...
There are lower-fidelity codes using simplified methods instead of full, 3D CFD. These tend to work okay for low-speed vessels, worse for...
To the precision that the advice is given, the keel and the center of flotation are probably similar enough. Even "at midship" would probably be...
Did you try letting them know yet?
For high-end racing yachts with new hullforms, full 3D multiphase CFD simulations are used to analyze and optimize the hull shape, then scale...
GHS is one of the more sophisticated tools for stability and other hydrostatics analysis. It's very powerful and flexible, but not very modern or...
The gyradius (also called the radius of gyration) and the moment of inertia I are two ways of representing the same information. Let me talk about...
I think I'm not understanding what you're saying or that you are mistaken. NURBS curves can represent conic sections exactly. This is why NURBS...
I'm a little confused what you're indicating. Conics were not abandoned for NURBS--quite the opposite, they're why we have NURBS. The R in NURBS...
Neither have I, but it's my understanding that it's all conic sections (circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas). (This is in contrast to...
Sorry, I was not so clear. By 1D splines, I mean a line in 3D space, instead of a surface (2D) in 3D space. It's 1D because there's one parametric...
I don't see why they would be any less susceptible to slamming loads than the bottom shell they butt up to. (The dynamic, local slamming load is...
Much, much better article than the first one linked. Thanks for sharing!
