Course Objective

Through this course, graduate students from different undergraduate disciplines will first be informed about the fundamental principles of the ship hydrodynamics. In the following stage, six degrees of freedom ship motions, manoeuvres and general equations as well as ship vibrations will be examined. In addition to these topics, profile theory and hydrofoil geometry, hydrofoil boats and advanced marine applications will be studied.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   1- To be able to solve basic problems in linear wave theory and boundary conditions and spectral analysis of waves.
2   2- To be able to comprehend six degrees of freedom ship movements and ship manoeuvres.
3   3- To have a basic knowledge about the vibration of the ship hull.
4   4- To have basic design knowledge in the application of hydrofoil surfaces to hulls, propellers and rudders.
5   5- To be able to know and evaluate the advanced applications of hydrofoil theory in marine field.
