This course provides the knowledge and the techniques that are required to perform the choice of the hull form and the propeller for a given ship design.
This course is aimed at illustrating the fundamental and basic principles concerning hull resistance and propulsion.
Classroom lectures and exercises
Ship resistance components. Resistance prediction from model testing and standard series. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional airfoil theory. Propeller geometry, design and matching. Theory of propeller action: momentum theory, blade element theory. Cavitation Hull-propeller interaction. Propeller choice: propeller charts, powering prediction.
