Course content

  • Brief introduction to Naval Architecture
  • Resistance and propulsion of ships
  • General linear dynamic theory
  • Wave theory (regular and irregular waves)
  • Wave loads
  • Wave-induced motion of ships
  • Sea-keeping, motion-criteria and operability
  • Offshore lifting operations
  • Slamming loads and response to impulsive loads
  • Non-linear wave loads, wave drift forces
  • Station-keeping in waves
  • Manoeuvring of ships

Learning outcome

Knowledge

  • Have thorough knowledge of the various resistance components for a ship and the principles for applying model tests to estimate the resistance of a full scale ship;
  • Have thorough knowledge on how propellers work and how they can provide thrust to a ship;
  • Have thorough knowledge of how to model regular waves and how this can be extended to model irregular waves
  • Have good knowledge of how to use statistical methods to predict estimates of extremes
  • Have thorough knowledge of how to analyse vessel motions
  • Have good knowledge of how to analyse offshore lifting operations, and how to calculate the various hydrodynamic loads involved in this analysis
  • Have good knowledge of the background for the nonlinear forces (wave drift forces) and how the station-keeping systems work to account for these;
  • Have thorough knowledge of how to assess a ships maneuvering capabilities (standard menuver tests)

Skills

  • Can analyse and interpret results from resistance and propulsion tests and use them to predict the relevant full-scale information for a ship;
  • Can use statistical methods to predict the probability that the vessel response exceeds a given threshold;
  • Can use relevant computer programs (e.g. SHIPX) to analyse ship motions in waves and use the results to assess the operability of a certain ship;
  • Can use relevant computer programs to analyse the station-keeping and maneuverability capabilities of a ship

General competence

  • Can analyse relevant hydrodynamic problems and select the proper scientific methods to predict the expected behavior;
  • Can apply his/her knowledge on new related problems to carry out relevant projects;
  • Will be familiar with the terminology used in relevant academic and professional discussion os sea-keeping and maneuvering of a vessel;
  • Can communicate effectively about hydrodynamic problems and analysis results with both specialists and to the general public;
  • Can contribute to new thinking and in work effectively in a multidisciplinary engineering team.
