Added Mass and Damping of Vibrating Propellers
(University of Michigan, 1980-10-01)
A general analysis of the added mass and damping of a marine propeller in all modes of rigid body vibration is presented. This derivation assumes that the pressure distribution on a propeller blade due to a unit heave ...
Experiments on the Resistance of a Family of Boxlike Hull Forms for Amphibious Vehicles
(University of Michigan, 1968-09-01)
Resistance, trim, and sinkage were measured for a family of hull shapes derived from a simple box_like parent, similar to present amphibians. The data were analyzed to reach conclusions as to the feasibility of major ...

This report provides the User's Manuals for a set of programs developed to support the teaching of conceptual ship design within the University of Michigan's Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. These ...
Computations of Highly Nonlinear Free_Surface Flows, with Applications to Arbitrary and Complex Hull Forms
(University of Michigan, 2000-10-01)
Computations of highly nonlinear free-surface flows, such as around arbitrary and complex hull forms, are performed using a desingularized boundary integral method which had been previously limited to simple, mathematical ...
