Resistance and Propulsion JEE333
Introduction
To provide an understanding and working knowledge of resistance and propulsion of ships. Experimental and theoretical methods are covered with an emphasis on application to design. Students are shown the theory behind these methods and are required to demonstrate usage of the methods (both theory and experiment) to predict resistance and hence propulsion requirements. This unit builds on the knowledge of fluid mechanics and applies it to practical design scenarios.

Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.

Learning Outcomes
- estimate, by experimental or basic computational methods, the resistance of and powering requirement for many marine vessels. explain the effects of hull form parameters from basic dimensions (such as beam) to complex hull/fluid interactions (such as a bulbous bow).
- conduct a critical analysis of a research paper on resistance of mono or multi-hull vessel.
- evaluate the process of experimental determination of resistance and powering of an existing hull design and associated propulsion system. demonstrate the skills necessary to perform these tests and report on the findings with reference to errors due to accuracy and repeatability issues. achieve all of these aims within a team of engineers.
- explain the principles of propeller and water-jet operation and carry out a practical propeller design. specifically students must be able to generate, analyse and implement within the design process relationships between thrust, torque, cycles per minute and speed of advance for multiple propulsion system options.
- explain the causes of cavitation, its detrimental effects and how to take steps to prevent it occurring on a propeller and water-jet system.
