Advanced Course in Resistance and Propulsion

This course aims to link education with state of the art research in the field of resistance and propulsion, through a combination of lectures and scientific papers.

• Use of CFD in holistic optimization of the integrated system: hull form, propeller, rudder, possible Wind Assisted Propulsion and Energy Saving Device (ESD)

• Uncertainty assessment in experiments and CFD computations

• Frictional Drag Reduction by Air Lubrication

• Principles of Energy Saving and Energy Saving Devices

• Predicting Cavitation Nuisance; pressure fluctuations, cavitation erosion and noise

Basic knowledge or an interest in CFD and fluid dynamics is expected.
