DESCRIPTION:
"To the experienced naval architect the comprehensive descriptions of the numerical methods will provide a unique opportunity of updating his knowledge in this special field The author, as well as those interested in the latest developments in ship hydrodynamics, whether practising naval architects, university professors or students, should be congratulated with the publication of this book."HANSA journal, October 2000"Highly useful for graduate and post-graduate students, the book is also a professional reference work for naval architects and consulting engineers." Maritime Journal"The author should be congratulated with the publication of this book it will be studied with interest by professionals and students all over the world."Poul Anderson, Technical University of Denmark"The book covers quite a lot of groundshould prove very useful to senior students and to practitioners in naval architecture. The book is well presented and will prove very in
· Web-supported text. Questions provided in chapters with answers on the web· Covers well-established methods as well as the newest numerical procedures in the area of ship hydrodynamics. The book is divided into seven chapters. These chapters present basic methods, such as model testing, extrapolation to full scale, and procedures for design. The book provides a global overview of experimental and numerical methods for ship resistance and propulsion, manoeuvring and seakeeping. Substantial parts of each chapter include numerical methods and their applications. The author has provided the reader with comprehensive coverage of ship hydrodynamics with a focus on numerical methods now in use. An introduction to computational fluid dynamics is given, including a discussion of applications. As boundary element techniques are now in standard use, thes
EXCELLENT HMC EXCELLENT. Practical Hydrodynamics at last! "Practical Ship Hydrodynamics" is an outstanding book encompassing all the new developments in hydrodynamics, yet keeping a didactic style that makes the book an excellent support for those involved in teaching. The book's approach to resistance and propulsion, seakeeping and manoeuvring is sound and solid, first reviewing standard methods and later introducing most recent available CFD techniques. The . Fine stuff This book is what I would have liked to have earlier for mylectures. In spite of being comprehensive, it gives not onlya good overview about the physics and current computationalmethods of the various fields of ship-related hydrodynamics,but contains also a host of valuable ideas which are not wellknown, and it concentrates on the important aspects withineach field. Many exercises show how to apply the
