This 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.
