The Role Of Hydrodynamics In Modern Ship Design
Hydrodynamics is relevant at the stages of the basic design of a vessel when its hull form is envisaged. Read along to know the aspects of hydrodynamics relevant in the realm of vessel design and naval architecture.
Why Is It Important To Reduce Drag In Ships?
Hull form optimization remains the classical approach for designers in not only reducing frictional or drag effects but also the overall resistance quotient as the wave resistance also depends greatly on the geometrical properties of the hull.Â
