M.q(Odd Magnus),d1944-10aHydrodynamics of high-speed marine vehicles /  aLondonbCambridge University Pressc2009  a1 online resource (xix, 454 pages) :bdigital, PDF file(s).  aTitle from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).  aHydrodynamics 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. 0aMotorboats. 0aShipsxHydrodynamics. 0aHydrodynamics. 0aHydrofoil boats.08iPrint version: z978052184568740uhttps://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511546068
