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 the principles behind the theoretical and experimental principles, and the influence of scaling laws in relation to model tests.
Ship propulsion: Can explain the principles of action of a screw 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 directional stability and turning capability.
