Hydrodynamics JEE337

Introduction

Hydrodynamics (JEE3337) 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. 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 course lays a foundation for the more detailed analysis of applied marine hydrodynamics problems in areas such as propulsion, manoeuvring, resistance and seakeeping.

Learning Outcomes

  • Describe the fundamental principles of the motion of ideal (inviscid) and real (viscous) fluid flows.
  • Apply analytical concepts to analyse a range of two-dimensional engineering fluid flows, with appropriate choice of simplifying assumptions and boundary conditions.
  • Investigate the physics/dynamics of a particular fluid flow giving a critical evaluation of the effect of significant flow and geometric parameters applying both hydrodynamic theory and knowledge from other disciples relevant to the problem.
  • Appraise fluid flow modelling techniques as to the underlying theory and associated simplifying assumptions upon which they are based and the appropriateness/suitability/limitations to the analysis of particular flows.
