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...
More DescriptionHydrodynamics 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.
