Ship design and naval architecture Books
World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Computational Geometry For Ships
Book SynopsisThis book offers an advanced course on “Computational Geometry for Ships”. It takes into account the recent rapid progress in this field by adapting modern computational methodology to ship geometric applications. Preliminary curve and surface techniques are included to educate engineers in the use of mathematical methods to assist in CAD and other design areas. In addition, there is a comprehensive study of interpolation and approximation techniques, which is reinforced by direct application to ship curve design, ship curve fairing techniques and other related disciplines. The design, evaluation and production of ship surface geometries are further demonstrated by including current and evolving CAD modelling systems.Table of ContentsCurve definition; curve representation; curve generation; ship curve design; elementary mathematical properties of surfaces; the PDE method for surface generation; blend design; free-form surface design; numerical solutions of elliptic PDES; surface generation; ship surface design; analysis of surface fairness; hydrodynamic evaluation of generated surfaces.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Mitigation Of Hydrodynamic Resistance: Methods To
Book SynopsisThis text presents the state of the art in friction drag/resistance reduction technologies for BODIES and crafts operating in liquids at and beneath the free surface. It is useful for professionals with backgrounds in advanced fluid dynamics as well as by academics teaching introductory graduate courses in this area. Active control of resistance will include a discussion of friction reduction, for example through the injection of gas that can form air layers and polymers that initially reside adjacent to the hull, including the use of partial and super cavities. The book discusses passive resistance control achieved through changes in the overall hull shape and appendages, including the application of lifting bodies, bulbous bows, and stern flaps. It also addresses passive reduction of skin friction through the application of hull coatings and other elements of hull husbandry.
