Water Waves Generated by a Slowly Moving Two-Dimensional Body, Part II
(University of Michigan, 1982-05-01)
A solution is obtained, valid asymptotically as speed approaches zero, for the waves generated behind a two-dimensional surface_-piercing body moving ahead at constant speed U. The method of matched asymptotic expansions ...
Small Craft Engineering: Resistance, Propulsion, and Sea Keeping
(University of Michigan, 1971-10-01)
This volume is reprinted from lecture notes used in a one-week course, Small Craft Engineering, presented by the Continuing Engineering Education Program of the University of Michigan, October 11 - 15, 1971.
A Second Look at Measures of Merit for Ship Design
(University of Michigan, 1980-08-01)
My purpose in writing this little book is to discuss the relative virtues and shortcomings of the several measures of merit in current use in ship design. In particular, I want to compare the two criteria most popular with ...
Water Waves Generated by a Slowly Moving Two-Dimensional Body, Part I
(University of Michigan, 1982-05-01)
Low-speed motion of a ship leads to a singular perturbation problem as speed approaches zero, since waves occur only in a boundary layer of vanishing thickness at the free surface. The complete solution consists of the ...
Optimization of Bow Bulb Configurations on the Basis of Model Wave Profile Measurements
(University of Michigan, 1970-12-01)
The present approach to bulb design may be regarded as a synthesis of the experimental with the theoretical method. The basic wave patterns of the main hull and the bow bulb are obtained from measurements in the model tank. ...
Hydrodynamic Interactions Between Ships in Shallow Water
(University of Michigan, 1978-06-01)
A method is developed for predicting the forces and moments acting on a vessel due to the hydrodynamic interactions between Vessels in a passing situation. The lateral separation between the vessels is assumed large so ...
Some Observations on Ship Manning Developments in Northern Europe, and Implications for Design
(University of Michigan, 1983-11-01)
A Report to the Institut fur Schiffs und Meerestechnik of Technische Universitat Berlin.&&In this report you will find a summary of the interwoven economic, technical, and social factors that are forcing change in the ...
Small Craft Engineering: Structures
(University of Michigan, 1971-10-01)
This volume is reprinted from lecture notes used in a one-week course, Small Craft Engineering, presented by the Continuing Engineering Education Program of the University of Michigan, October 11 - 15, 1971.
