Aim: To provide the student with the theoretical background necessary to assess and calculate flows around ships in waves and around manoeuvring ships.
Contents: Flows around ships are examined by use of mathematical models. These models are applied to ships travelling in waves and include both fully three-dimensional as well as strip models. Response in regular waves is treated, including the concepts of added mass and damping. Also slamming is considered and the problems with speed loss and power reserve are discussed. The flow models are also applied to manoeuvring ships. The equations of motion for the ship are derived and their coefficients discussed. Their solutions are treated as well as various problems such as experiments vs. calculations, trial trip manoeuvres etc.
