MEC-E2001 - Ship Hydrodynamics D, Lecture, 4.11.2021-24.2.2022

Guest access
Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Ship resistance: Can describe and classify the flow phenomena responsible for ship resistance. Knows how to assess the effect of hull main dimensions and that of the features of the hull on hull resistance. Understands principles behind theoretical and experimental principles, and appreciates the influence of scaling laws in relation to model test.

Ship propulsion: Can explain the principles of action of propeller and that of the water-jet propulsion. Knows how to apply gained knowledge in estimating the required power of a ship. Can describe the effect of flow parameters on propeller cavitation, understands the influence of erosion and can apply this information in the preliminary design of propellers.

Ship maneuvering: Knows the basic indices to describe ship maneuvering and the testing methods to assess performance. Can classify rudder types, knows how the rudder works and can determine the ship directivity and turning capability.

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Ship's resistance. Propellers and propulsion of a ship. Theoretical prediction, design applicability and practical validation techniques (model-based and full-scale measurements). Interaction between hull, propeller and main engine. Ship maneuvering and rudder principles.

Assessment Methods and Criteria

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Marking scheme 1 - 5. Marking comes from Examination and compulsory exercises. Examination counts for 50% ; 25% comes from 2 group assignments and 1 individual assignment + 25% from model testing group final report.

Workload

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Contact hours (18 x 2 hrs Lectures/Tutorials + 6 hrs of model testing in VTT tank) = 42 hrs

    Group work (2 assignment x 30hr) = 50hr

    Independent work = 43 hr

    In total 135 hours (5 cr)
