Maritime Hydrodynamics unit (JEE663)

Introduction

This unit delves into the critical elements and advanced concepts of environmental forcings on offshore structures and vessels. It equips students with the skills to develop and apply sophisticated numerical and analytical methods pertinent to engineering challenges associated with maritime structures. The unit establishes a robust foundation for in-depth analysis of applied maritime hydrodynamics, encompassing areas such as propulsion, maneuvering, resistance, seakeeping, floating offshore structures, and coastal engineering.
