Vm. Pashin et al., DETERMINATION OF 3-DIMENSIONAL BODY FORMS FROM GIVEN PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION OVER THEIR SURFACES, Journal of ship research, 40(1), 1996, pp. 22-27
A method for solving inverse three-dimensional problems in hydromechan
ics is proposed which makes it possible to fit desired pressure distri
butions within design constraints immediately in the course of calcula
tions. Examples of the method of application are given for bodies of r
evolution in flows at nonzero drift angles. These flows are not axisym
metric. Bodies of revolution in them are very handy examples of demons
trations of the method, and these examples have many technical applica
tions.
