TextPublisher: London Cambridge University Press 2009Description: 1 online resource (xix, 454 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).ISBN: 9780511546068 (ebook).Subject(s): Motorboats | Ships -- Hydrodynamics | Hydrodynamics | Hydrofoil boatsAdditional physical formats: Print version: : No titleDDC classification: 623.8/1231 Online resources: Click here to access online Summary: Hydrodynamics of High-Speed Marine Vehicles, first published in 2006, discusses the three main categories of high-speed marine vehicles - vessels supported by submerged hulls, air cushions or foils. The wave environment, resistance, propulsion, seakeeping, sea loads and manoeuvring are extensively covered based on rational and simplified methods. Links to automatic control and structural mechanics are emphasized. A detailed description of waterjet propulsion is given and the effect of water depth on wash, resistance, sinkage and trim is discussed. Chapter topics include resistance and wash; slamming; air cushion-supported vessels, including a detailed discussion of wave-excited resonant oscillations in air cushion; and hydrofoil vessels. The book contains numerous illustrations, examples and exercises.
