This book presents a theoretical treatment, as well as a summary of
practical methods of computation, of the forces and moments that act
on marine craft. Its aim is to provide the tools necessary for the
prediction or simulation of craft motions in calm water and in
waves. In addition to developing the required equations, the author
gives relations that permit at least approximate evaluation of the
coefficients so that useful results can be obtained. The approach
begins with the equations of motion for rigid bodies, relative to
fixed- and moving-coordinate systems; then, the hydrodynamic forces
are examined, starting with hydrostatics and progressing to the forces
on a moving vehicle in calm water and (after a review of water-wave
theory) in waves. Several detailed examples are presented, including
calculations of hydrostatics, horizontal- and vertical-plane
directional stability, and wave-induced motions. Also included are
unique discussions on various effects, such as fin?hull
interactions, numerical stability of integrators, heavy torpedoes, and
the dynamics of high-speed craft. The book is intended to be an
introductory-level graduate text and a reference for the practicing
professional.
