Description
This module covers the methods available for predicting ship performance. Topics covered are: physics of the flow around a vessel, resistance prediction methods, hull/propulsor interaction effects, propulsor design, powering estimates, EEDI and efficiency
听
Aims of the module
The module aims to give the student a theoretical grounding in the fundamental discipline fields of Naval Architectural Hydrodynamics focusing on the ship resistance and propulsion and powering estimation.
听
Intended learning outcomes
At the end of the module students will be able to:
鈥� apply ship hydrodynamic knowledge to select a suitable hull form for different ship operational requirements (speed, size, role) and select an appropriate propeller design and conduct towing tank tests and extrapolate and correlate experimental results to the real full-scale ship (AHEP M1, M4)
鈥� predict ship powering requirement based on the empirical methods and series data. (AHEP M2, M3)
鈥� identify and propose measures to improve efficiency of the hydrodynamic performance of a ship (AHEP M2, M4, M17)
Higher level learning outcomes (AHEP M1, M2, M3, M4, M17) as defined in the Engineering Council鈥檚 鈥淎ccreditation of Higher Education Programmes鈥� 4th Edition ( AHEP 4) published 2020.
