This book presents a theoretical treatment, as well as a summary of
practical methods of computation, of the forces and moments that
act on marine craft. Its aim is to provide the tools necessary for
the prediction or simulation of craft motions in calm water and in
waves. In addition to developing the required equations, the author
gives relations that permit at least approximate evaluation of the
coefficients so that useful results can be obtained. The approach
begins with the equations of motion for rigid bodies, relative to
fixed- and moving-coordinate systems; then, the hydrodynamic forces
are examined, starting with hydrostatics and progressing to the
forces on a moving vehicle in calm water and (after a review of
water-wave theory) in waves. Several detailed examples are
presented, including calculations of hydrostatics, horizontal- and
vertical-plane directional stability, and wave-induced motions.
Also included are unique discussions on various effects, such as
fin-hull interactions, numerical stability of integrators, heavy
torpedoes, and the dynamics of high-speed craft. The book is
intended to be an introductory-level graduate text and a reference
for the practicing professional.
