Abstract:This study presents a new mathematical hull-form that is expressed as an explicit function with 10 hull-form parameters, which is called the Matsui hull-form in this study. The proposed hull-form was developed by expanding the modified Wigley hull-form so that the following 10 hull-form parameters can be independently varied: main dimensions $$L$$
L
, $$B$$
B
, $$d$$
d
, fineness coefficients $${C}_{b}$$
