Detailed
description of topics:
-
An introduction in advanced marine vehicle types.
-
The basic principles of the different types of advanced marine
vehicles will be explained, supported by data of recently build vessels.
-
Several types of propulsion systems such as but not limited to
waterjets, cavitating and
non cavitating propellors.
-
Energy supply by means of
high speed diesels and gasturbines.
-
A basic introduction in the application and aspects of normal and
advanced materials in designing and building these vessels.
-
Hydrodynamic aspects, the contradiction between resistance and
propulsion and on the other hand ships movements will be dealt with.
-
Safety aspects and possible fault aspects in the design and
building processes.
-
Design strategies in the design of advanced marine vehicles.
-
Ship owner requirements and the economical evaluation of these
vessel types, future development expectations looking to the different
types.
