• Shipbuilding, Semester 3, position 5

The aim of the course is to cover the application of software packages for ship design and basic calculations in shipbuilding. With the help of software packages, the student should analyze and optimize the ship from the perspectives of safety, efficiency, and environmental acceptability.

Acquisition of practical knowledge in the application of computer programs for ship form development, hydrostatic and hydrodynamic calculations, optimization of ship form using CFD, prediction of ship engine power, selection of ship construction elements, ship behavior in waves, and ship design. The student will be equipped to apply comprehensive knowledge from mathematics, statistics, natural sciences, and engineering principles to solve complex problems, supplemented by critical awareness of engineering development and broader engineering context, including formulating, analyzing, and evaluating available data to draw informed conclusions and applying engineering reasoning when dealing with uncertain or incomplete information in ship design. The student will be able to choose and apply appropriate computational and analytical techniques for modeling complex problems, apply an integrated or systemic approach to problem-solving, and use practical laboratory and workshop skills for problem investigation, considering constraints of applied techniques in the domain of shipbuilding.

Concepts and fundamental aspects of applying computer programs and commercial software packages for shipbuilding. During the course, the application and demonstration of the use of some basic and advanced software packages related to ship geometry, ship lines, hydrostatic and hydrodynamic calculations, optimization of ship form using CFD, prediction of engine power, construction, maneuvering, and ship behavior in waves are explained and demonstrated.

Students are trained to work with existing software packages in order to solve practical engineering problems related to ship geometry, ship lines, hydrostatic and hydrodynamic calculations, optimization of ship form using CFD, prediction of engine power, construction, maneuvering, and ship behavior in waves. The instruction takes place concurrently with the Ship Design course, allowing students to apply software in their project tasks.

Exams passed in Buoyancy and Stability of Ship 2, Ship Resistance, Ship Propulsion, Ship Structures 2.
