  • Book Description

    Hydrodynamics of High-Speed Marine Vehicles discusses how ocean waves and the water flow affect high-speed vessels and how this depends on the vessel type and forward speed. There is a clear difference between the behavior of a catamaran, a hydrofoil boat and an air-cushion supported vessel. All aspects of marine hydrodynamics are covered with an emphasis on rational and simplified methods. The book contains many illustrations, examples and exercises. Knowledge of water flow is important in the structural design and is essential in the construction of an automatic motion control system.

  • Product Description

    This volume considers hydrodynamic aspects of the three main categories of high-speed marine vehicles, i.e. vessels supported by either the submerged hull, an air cushion, or foils. (Submerged-hull-supported vessels include planing and semi-displacement vessels.) The wave environment, resistance, propulsion, seakeeping, sea loads, and maneuvering are extensively covered based on rational and simplified methods. Links to automatic control and structural mechanics are emphasized. A detailed description of waterjet propulsion is given, and the effect of water depth on wash, resistance, sinkage, and trim is discussed. The book contains many illustrations, examples, and exercises.
