Ship Hydrodynamics

General linear dynamic theory Wave theory (regular and irregular waves) Wave loads Uncoupled motion in waves Motion in irregular waves Coupled heave and pitch motion Powering in a seaway Motion reduction in waves Motion criteria, operability estimates Non-linearities in wave load estimates Station-keeping in waves Manoeuvring of ships

Læringsutbytte - Kunnskap: After completed the course, the student shall know the main principles for analysing a vessels sea-keeping performance and assessing a vessels manoeuvring capabilities. Læringsutbytte - Ferdigheter: The student shall be able to perform sea-keeping and manoeuvring analyses of a ship by using a computer program like e.g. SHIPX. The student shall be able to evaluate the results from hydrodynamic analyses and/or model test to an extent where they can contribute to improve the sea-keeping or manoeuvring characteristics of a vessel. Læringsutbytte - Kompetanse: The student will have a general understanding of the motion of ships at sea and be familiar with the terminology used in relevant academic and professional discussions of sea-keeping or manoeuvring of a vessel.

Pedagogiske metoder: Class room lectures, homework and mandatory assignments. Obligatoriske arbeidskrav: 2/3 of the assignments must be accepted and a mandatory project work must be submitted.
