Hydrodynamics of High-Speed Marine Vehicles discusses hydrodynamic
aspects of the three main categories of high-speed marine vehicles,
i.e. vessels supported by either the submerged hull, an air cushion
or foils. Submerged-hull-supported vessels include planing and
semi-displacement vessels. The wave environment, resistance,
propulsion, seakeeping, sea loads and maneuvering are extensively
covered based on rational and simplified methods. Links to
automatic control and structural mechanics are emphasized. A
detailed description of waterjet propulsion is given, and the
effect of water depth on wash, resistance, sinkage and trim is
discussed. Chapter topics include resistance and wash, slamming,
air-cushion supported vessels including a detailed discussion of
wave-excited resonant oscillations in the air cushion, and
hydrofoil vessels including practical aspects as well as foil
theory. The book contains many illustrations, examples and
exercises. Knowledge about the water flow is important in the
structural design and is essential in the construction of an
automatic motion control system.
