The first part of the book is devoted to fundamentals of the flow about hydrofoil sections and wings and to propellers in uniform flow, with pragmatic guidance for design and analysis of performance. The second part covers the development of unsteady forces arising from operation in non-uniform hull wakes. Both non-cavitating and cavitating propellers are considered. A final chapter discusses the optimization of efficiency of compound propulsors. The authors have taken care to clearly describe physical concepts and mathematical steps.
Appendices provide concise expositions of the mathematical techniques used.
The objective of the present study has been to contribute to a rational basis for quantifying the consequences of ship grounding events. 2.Establishment of a mathematical model for calculation of loads and hull girder response during grounding on a rock pinnacle. In addition, a short study is presented of a theory for estimating the expected number of yearly grounding events in a certain area. A specific area in Denmark is investigated and good agreement is found between the calculated and the observed yearly number of grounding events.
