14. Description of lectures
Introduction of numerical and analytical calculation methods for determining of hull resistance, wave, speed and pressure field around the hull. Basics of ship specific numerical fluid dynamics calculations, international recommendations for calculation parameters and methods. The method of propeller design and defining propeller open water characteristics.
15. Description of practices
In the exercises, the students practice the ship hydrodynamic calculations.
16. Description of labortory practices
In laboratory practice, students are trained to determine ship resistance and rudder forces using computer programs.
