Download or read book Advances in Marine Hydrodynamics written by M. Ohkusu and published by Computational Mechanics. This book was released on 1996 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of theoretical methods of marine hydrodynamics is becoming more important in the methodology of ship design. This is because modern ship technology requires the analysis of increasingly complex phenomena for designing novel types of ships and their sophisticated systems. This text describes advances achieved in marine hydrodynamics, particularly in theoretical methods and their numerical implementation. Each chapter introduces background ideas and concepts and describes recent research in the field.
