Naval Architecture 1B

This module aims to develop knowledge and understanding of physical properties of fluids and how they are modelled; the basic principles of hydrostatic and fluid dynamics; and the potential flow models and Newtonian fluids.

This module covers knowledge relating to marine and offshore engineering technology, hydrostatic curve, Archimedes principle, ship stability and fluid dynamics, such as –

1)Fluid dynamics; fluid properties, Newtonian fluids; hydrostatic - pressure, Archimedes Principle and buoyancy forces; Fluids in motion - laminar and turbulent flow; Quantifying fluid flow - continuity equation and volumetric flow rate; Simple flow models - ideal fluids and Bernoulli's equation; real fluids and energy losses; inviscid fluids and potential flow models. Introduction to Navier Stokes equations, both practice and science; Dimensional analysis

2) Hydrostatic curve and Bonjean Curve
