Course Objective

Through this course, it is aimed to create a certain background by informing graduate students who have graduated from different undergraduate disciplines about basic ship hydromechanics and applications. Within the scope of the course, hydromechanical classification of ships, ship geometry and stability, resistance of ships, friction and viscous pressure resistance components as well as wave resistance component are treated in detail through fluid mechanics principles. Using the Froude approach, resistance prediction methods are examined. Propulsion systems, propulsion and efficiency definitions, propeller selection, steering of ships and rudder mechanics and types are discussed.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   1- To have basic information about ship geometry and to be able to evaluate ships by classifying them according to their forms and propulsion methods.
2   2- To be able to apply Froude method effectively by predicting ship resistance components.
3   3- To have basic knowledge about propulsion systems and efficiency.
4   4- To be able to apply basic knowledge about manoeuvring elements and steering characteristics.
5   5- To have basic knowledge of linear wave theory and to be able to calculate wave energy values from wave energy spectrum.
