This paper describes an attempt to improve ship prismatic form, ie, longitudinal displacement distribution, for minimizing ship wave resistance. The method adopted represents the prismatic curve by use of a B-spline function, takes the coefficients of the B-spline as the design variables, and evaluates the wave resistance value by Michell approximation which assumes an infinite-draft ship form with the beam profile the same as the prismatic curve of the ship form considered. A feasible direction method is applied to the optimizing process including the wave resistance computation mentioned above. It was found that the convergence of the iterative optimizing process is quite rapid and steady, and that the method is useful for the practical initial design of ship forms, although it also leaves aspects for improvement such as the wave resistance calculation method and extension to the 3-dimensional case.
