Basic principles: Hydrostatics, constant flow phenomena and waves
The treated theory includes:
- Archimedes’ Law, hydrostatic pressure
- Stability computations for floating structures – including the effect of shifting loads, and partially filled fluid tanks
- Potential flow basics, 2D potential flow elements, superposition principle
- Real (viscous) flows, scaling laws, flow regimes
- Fluid forces on structures, drag and lift, resistance and propulsion, wind and current loads
- Linear wave theory in regular and irregular waves and wave statistics
