Resumen

Basis functions are key in constructing interpolation equations in hull surface modification based on radial basis functions (RBF) interpolation. However, few have studied the selection of basis functions in depth. By comparing several typical basis functions through a theoretical analysis and two-dimensional modification examples, the Wendland ?3,1 (W) function is selected. The advantages of hull form surface modification based on W function interpolation are further validated through a case study. Finally, the modification method is used to optimize a trimaran model. An optimal hull form with fair lines is obtained, and its wave-making resistance coefficient and total resistance are reduced by 8.3% and 3.8%, respectively, compared to those of the original model. These findings not only further illustrate that the W function is relatively suitable for hull form surface modification, but also validate the feasibility and value of the RBF interpolation-based surface modification method in engineering practice.
