This course provides students with advanced knowledge on the hydrodynamics of high speed vessels, particularly with single-hull and multi-hull high speed crafts, hydrofoil crafts, air cushion crafts and small waterplane area twin hull vessels.

1) Advanced knowledge about conventional types of high speed crafts. 2) Advanced knowledge about ship hydrodynamics needed for the design of conventional types of high speed crafts. 3) Ability to do calculations of ship resistance and propulsion of high speed crafts. 4) Knowledge about model-scale towing-tank tests and extrapolation of measured results to a ship scale.

Conventional high speed crafts (semi-displacement and planing single-hull and multi-hull crafts, hydrofoil crafts, air cushion crafts and small waterplane area twin hull vessels), hull-form characteristics, calculations of resistance and propulsion characteristics, towing tank model-scale tests, dynamic stability of high speed crafts, etc.

The focus is on the student’s independent design of high speed craft.

Defined by the curriculum of studies.
