Hydrodynamics JEE337
Introduction
This unit covers the development of the fundamental equations of fluid mechanics and introduces the student to the application of analytical methods for the analysis of fluid flows, particularly in the context of naval architecture & ocean engineering. In addition to the theoretical understanding gained, the student will also develop his/her analysis and evaluation skills in the examination of practical flows. The unit lays a foundation for the more detailed analysis of applied marine hydrodynamics problems in areas such as propulsion, manoeuvring, resistance, seakeeping and offshore structures.

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.

* The Final WW Date is the final date from which you can withdraw from the unit without academic penalty, however you will still incur a financial liability (refer to How do I withdraw from a unit? for more information).
Unit census dates currently displaying for 2024 are indicative and subject to change. Finalised census dates for 2024 will be available from the 1st October 2023. Note census date cutoff is 11.59pm AEST (AEDT during October to March).
Learning Outcomes
- Apply the fundamental principles of ideal and real fluid motion to evaluate flow around bodies
- Develop a range of research skills to appraise fluid flow physics in the maritime context
- Apply of a range of advanced wave theories to assess the interaction with maritime platforms
- Explain the effect of viscous flow physics on bodies in the maritime environment
Fee Information
The 2024 Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) rates are still being finalised by the Government and we will update the domestic fee information as soon as we have more details.
