Abstract
This paper is concerned with the approximation of an arbitrary hull shape by an analytic expression to be used primarily for hydrodynamic calculations. A method is described which permits high-degree polynomial surface equations to be used as approximations of a wide variety of hull shapes. Numerical examples obtained with an IBM 704 computer show that the procedure produces hull forms which are sufficiently accurate for most hydrodynamic calculations.
