Prerequisites:  41201
Aim:  To provide students with the necessary theoretical background for applying scientific methods for analyses of flows with lift, free surface and cavitation, i.e. mainly flows over ships and propellers.
Contents:  One or more of the following items are dealt with: potential flows, flow with free surfaces, dynamic lift, cavitation. Flows over ships, i.e. wave formation, vortices, friction, horizontal motions, ship manoeuvring and flows over rudders and propellers including dynamic lift, cavitation and pressure pulses.
The course includes project work and reading of scientific papers.
