Different optimization algorithms are deployed to obtain the optimum hull form at the condition of design draft and design speed when displacement is defined as a basic constraint. The paper uses STARCCM+ to calculate the resistance in still water, while added resistance is calculated by STF strip method. By comparing the numerical results, a satisfying hull form can be found. Both powering performance and seakeeping performance are improved.enhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Added resistance in wavesCalm water resistanceParametric hull form generationTechnikIngenieurwissenschaftenConference Paper10.15480/882.335110.15480/882.3351Fluiddynamik und Schiffstheorie M-8Conference Paper
