in the context of the representation and modeling of hull forms is subject of the research project. So far, the project has shown that the application ofgeneralized B-spline surfaces increases the potential [...] generalized B-spline surface. The hull features a bulbous bow, a flat side and bottom, a pram type stern, and a skeg. The transition of the flat side into the bilge initially takes the form of a knuckle that [...] generalized B-spline surface. The hull features a bulbous bow, a flat side and bottom, a pram type stern, and a skeg. Introduction The hull form is one of the most important results of the ship design process.
