Detailed description of topics:

Hydromechanics of Special Shiptypes, such as fast ships, advanced marine vehicles, (sailing) yachts. Topics calm water resistance, side force production and induced resistance, aerodynamics of sails, Velocity Prediction, (nonlinear) motions in waves, operability of fast ships, maneuvring, motion control and large motions

Course material:

• WEGEMT Courses on Advanced marine Vehicles, Sailing Yacht Design and Course notes, distributed during classes

References from literature:

• See course material

Remarks assessment, entry requirements, etc.:

Attendance during lectures is compulsory, marks on presentation, no written examination

Learning goals:

Assessment and understanding of the special hydromechanics involved in the motions and general hydrodynamic behavior of the craft indicated. Application of this knowledge in design and use of special programs such as VPP and nonlinear ship motions.

Computer use:

Exercise/workshop related

Laboratory project(s):

Possible towing tank workshops with yachts and fast ships.

Design content:

Application of shiphydrodynamics in the design of these special types of ships is prominent
