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

Learning goals:

1. reproduce the main lines in a selection of the latest developments in the field of Prop & Res. Hydrodynamics, where the current selection of Propulsion and Resistance topics includes unsteady hydrodynamics of the flow over a foil, capitation forms, problems and tools for analysis and design, propulsion systems in a service environment and ship drag reduction by air lubrication

2. analyse a hydrodynamic problem in the propulsion and resistance area, into well defined subproblems that can be analysed with state of the art knowledge and tools

3. select the appropriate theory or tool (either numerical or experimental) for an analysis of the identified problem

4. reproduce and present to an audience, the main lines in a contemporary publication from the field of Propulsion and Resistance hydrodynamics

5. understand, interpret and react to questions from the audience and the lecturer and in doing so, stimulate the scientific debate
