This book guides naval architects from the first principles of the
physics of control surface operation, to the use of experimental
and empirical data and applied computational fluid dynamic
modelling of rudders and control surfaces.
The empirical and theoretical methods applied to control surface
design are described in depth and their use explained through
application to particular cases. The design procedures are
complemented with a number of worked practical examples of rudder
and control surface design.
The online companion site contains an extensive modelling data
library, plus software for theoretical control surface design,
based on over 25 years of world-class research at the University of
Southampton, an incredible resource for engineers in this field.
- The only text dedicated to marine control surface design
- Provides experimental, theoretical and applied design information
valuable for practising engineers, designers and students
- Accompanied by an online extensive experimental database together
with software for theoretical
predictions and design development
The course keeping and manoeuvring requirements for a ship are
governed by international maritime law. In assessing and predicting
the course keeping and manoeuvring capabilities of the ship,
knowledge is required of the rudder forces necessary to keep a
course or facilitate a manoeuvre. The second edition of Marine
Rudders, Hydrofoils and Control Surfaces includes up-to-date data
and rudder design techniques that enable the rudder forces to be
estimated, together with any interactions due to the hull and
propeller. The new edition describes the design and application of
hydrofoils including shape adaptive design, and their applications
including hydrofoil craft, yachts, and kite surfing hydrofoils. The
professional will also face the need to design control surfaces for
motion control, such as roll and pitch, for surface vessels and
submersibles, and the book contains the necessary techniques and
data to carry out these tasks. This book is for practicing naval
architects and marine engineers, small craft designers, yacht
designers, hydrodynamicists, undergraduate and postgraduate
students of naval architecture, maritime engineering and ship
science, and the broader engineering community involved in the
development of marine craft that rely on the generation of 'lift'
such as control engineers and aerodynamicists.
The Maritime Engineering Reference Book is a one-stop source for
engineers involved in marine engineering and naval architecture. In
this essential reference, Anthony F. Molland has brought together
the work of a number of the world's leading writers in the field to
create an inclusive volume for a wide audience of marine engineers,
naval architects and those involved in marine operations, insurance
and other related fields.
Coverage ranges from the basics to more advanced topics in ship
design, construction and operation. All the key areas are covered,
including ship flotation and stability, ship structures,
propulsion, seakeeping and maneuvering. The marine environment and
maritime safety are explored as well as new technologies, such as
computer aided ship design and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs).
Facts, figures and data from world-leading experts makes this an
invaluable ready-reference for those involved in the field of
maritime engineering.
Professor A.F. Molland, BSc, MSc, PhD, CEng, FRINA. is Emeritus
Professor of Ship Design at the University of Southampton, UK. He
has lectured ship design and operation for many years. He has
carried out extensive research and published widely on ship design
and various aspects of ship hydrodynamics.
* A comprehensive overview from best-selling authors including
Bryan Barrass, Rawson and Tupper, and David Eyres
* Covers basic and advanced material on marine engineering and
Naval Architecture topics
* Have key facts, figures and data to hand in one complete
reference book
This second edition provides a comprehensive and scientific
approach to evaluating ship resistance and propulsion. Written by
experts in the field, it includes the latest developments in CFD,
experimental techniques and guidance for the practical estimation
of ship propulsive power. It addresses improvements in energy
efficiency and reduced emissions, and the introduction of the
Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI). Descriptions have now been
included of pump jets, rim driven propulsors, shape adaptive foils,
propeller noise and dynamic positioning. Trial procedures have been
updated, and preliminary estimates of power for hydrofoil craft,
submarines and AUVs are incorporated. Standard series data for hull
resistance and propeller performance are included, enabling
practitioners to make ship power predictions based on material and
data within the book. Numerous fully worked examples illustrate
applications for most ship and small craft types, making this book
ideal for practising engineers, naval architects, marine engineers
and undergraduate and postgraduate students.
