Course description
Course content
-
Introduction to the basic principles of ship dynamics (ship resistance, propulsion, seakeeping, maneuvering) and their application in ship design / operations for safety
-
Practical ship dynamics for ship resistance, propulsion, motion control and stabilisation
-
Linear and nonlinear surface wave theory
-
Ship theory for seakeeping and loading (rigid body dynamics, hydroelasticity of ships, model tests and full scale measurements)
-
Added resistance and maneuvering in waves
Learning outcomes
- Observe and explain physical phenomena associated with seakeeping, resistance, propulsion and maneuvering of ships progressing in waves.
-
Explain the meaning of practical methods for the assessment ship dynamics associated with resistance, propulsion, dynamic stability and motion control.
-
Explain the general theory of surface waves and interpret modelling assumptions for use in computational models and experiments used for ship design.
-
Classify, synthesise and explain common approximations to the general models known as seakeeping and wave loading models and assess their applicability and deficiencies for application in design development and operational management practices.
-
Explain the basic principles of added resistance and maneuvering models in waves, as well as analyse and synthesise their use for ship design and the management of maritime safety.
