Course content
Application of lifting line and lifting surface theory in the design of propulsors, rudders, foils etc. Application of theory and experimental methods in calculation of resistance and in calculation of hydrodynamical characteristics of propellers, tunnel thrusters, azimuth thrusters and waterjets. Propeller induced vibration and noise. Influence of fouling, wind and waves on resistance and propulsion. Propulsor dynamics in waves.
Learning outcome
- To have detailed knowledge about the hydrodynamics of ship propulsion, ship resistance, hydrodynamic lift, hydrodynamic principles of propellers, including cavitation and ventilation.
- To have knowledge about the special considerations regarding the hydrodynamics of thrusters, waterjets and operation of ships and propulsion systems in a seaway.
- To be able to do computations of resistance, propulsion power of ships by use of experimental, empirical and simple numerical methods.
- To master the choice of main dimensions of propellers, as well as simple propeller design.
- To master the concepts and terminology of naval hydrodynamics.
- - With these knowledge and skills the students will be better able to do design and analysis of ships and propellers.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, exercises and lab demonstration. Some of the scheduled exercise periods might be replaced by lectures. Examination papers will be given in English only.
Compulsory assignments
- Exercises
Further on evaluation
Portfolio assessment is the basis for the grade in the course. The portfolio includes a final written exam (75%) and work (25%). The results for the parts are given in %-scores, while the entire portfolio is assigned a letter grade.
Postponed/repeated exams may be oral.
For a re-take of an examination, all assessments during the course must be re-taken.
Recommended previous knowledge
TMR4247 Marine Technology - Hydrodynamics or similar. Knowledge of fluid mechanics from introductory university course. Basic knowledge of resistance and propulsion of ships.
