Hydrodynamics for High-Speed Marine Vehicles
About
About the course
Course content
The course considers the three main categories of high-speed vessels, i.e.hull-supported, air-cushion supported and foil supported vessels. Hull-supported vessels are divided into semi-displacement and planing vessels. All hydrodynamic aspects are discussed. This means resistance, trim, wash, propulsion, seakeeping, hydrodynamic stability and maneuvering. Links to automatic control and structural mechanics are emphasized.
Learning outcome
Give physical understanding that makes it possible for students to interprete theoretical and experimental hydrodynamic investigations, that can be used i design of high-speed vessels.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and exercises. Lectures are in English. Postponed/repeated exams may be oral.
Compulsory assignments
- Exercises
Recommended previous knowledge
TMR4215 Sea Loads.
