Follow up:

The first half of the course is a lecture series. The topic is resistance and propulsion in calm water. The state of the art of propeller design and analysis in non-uniform wake is treated. Cavitation phenomena and scale effects on inception are dealt with in some detail. Selected topics of current interest are discussed. The second half of the course consists of a presentation and critical discussion of (recent) litterature. This can cover all aspects of marine hydrodynamics related to resistance and propulsion in calm water. One or two students take a paper and presents its content in a lecture. This is subsequently ddiscussed. The presentation and discussion is evaluated after the session.

Resistance and Propulsion of Ships II. (Until 1997 with handouts)

References from literature:

The exam is the presentation during the course and the pre- and post evaluation of this presentation.

The purpose is to inform the students of the state of the art of technology on a selected series of items such as propeller design and cavitation. The second aim is to train the students in reading and absorbing litterature and to present critical views in public.
