This is a treatment of a number of aspects of the theory of hydrody
namic propulsion. It has been written with in mind technical
propulsion systems generally based on lift producing profiles. We
assume the fluid, which is admitted in conventional hydrody namics,
to be incompressible. Further we assume the occurring Reynolds
numbers to be sufficiently high such that the inertia forces
dominate by far the viscous forces, therefore we take the fluid to
be inviscid. Of course it must be realized that viscosity plays an
important part in a number of phenomena displayed in real flows,
such as flow separation at the nose of a profile and the
entrainment of fluid by a ship's hull. Another ap proximation which
will be used in general is that the problems are linearized. In
other words it is assumed that the induced disturbance velocities
are sufficiently small, such that their squares can be neglected
with respect to these velocities themselves. Hence it is necessary
to evaluate the domain of validity of the results with respect to
these two a priori assumptions. Anyhow it seems advisable to have
first a good understanding of the linearized non-viscous theory
before embarking on complicated theories which describe more or
less realistic situations. For elaborations of the theory to
realistic situations we will refer to current literature. In low
Reynolds number flow, singular external forces and moments are very
useful.
