Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High speed boats necessarily use surface-piercing propellers, but there is very little literature available on surface piercing. My aim is to quantify what I have understood about speed on the water from theory and practice combined. I'm uniquely qualified to write about the combination of fast planing hulls, propellers, and hydrodynamics. I know how a race boat feels under all conditions from 60-85 mph from driving successfully in competition. I have reworked and improved many existing propellers for racing and also for better performance on sport boats. I do my own work on boat bottoms, propellers, and motors. I've set nine outboard speed records, have won four national championships, and I was twice US-1 in my class. On the other side of the coin I'm physics professor with adequate theoretical background in vortex theory and hydrodynamics more generally. The completely new results, not found elsewhere in the literature, are: power-diameter-RPM scaling for propellers and comparison with speed record data, inadequacy of all available measurements of torque coefficients in surface piercing, the difference between efficient surface piercing and supercavitation, complete set of equations (using the mean camber surface to define pitch and camber) for the design of a cleaver from hub to tip, definition of path pitch, use of path pitch to determine the parabolic camber, photos of 3D CAD drawings and 3D printed out models, idealized calculations of torque coefficients and efficiencies, speed-power- weigh scaling law and comparison with existing speed records, clear definition of lift onset, clear definition of planning, lift on monohulls and tunnels, center of pressure and stability of tunnels, estimation of lift coefficient for a v-bottom/tunnel sponson and comparison with data

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydrodynamics and Transport for Water Quality Modeling presents a complete overview of current methods used to describe or predict transport in aquatic systems, with special emphasis on water quality modeling. The book features detailed descriptions of each method, supported by sample applications and case studies drawn from the authors' years of experience in the field. Each chapter examines a variety of modeling approaches, from simple to complex. This unique text/reference offers a wealth of information previously unavailable from a single source. The book begins with an overview of basic principles, and an introduction to the measurement and analysis of flow. The following section focuses on rivers and streams, including model complexity and data requirements, methods for estimating mixing, hydrologic routing methods, and unsteady flow modeling. The third section considers lakes and reservoirs, and discusses stratification and temperature modeling, mixing methods, reservoir routing and water balances, and dynamic modeling using one-, two-, and three-dimensional models. The book concludes with a section on estuaries, containing topics such as origins and classification, tides, mixing methods, tidally averaged estuary models, and dynamic modeling. Over 250 figures support the text. This is a valuable guide for students and practicing modelers who do not have extensive backgrounds in fluid dynamics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1971, Reinier Tirnrnan visited the University of Delaware during which time he gave a series of lectures on water waves from which these notes grew. Those of us privi leged to be present during that time will never forget the experience. Rein Tirnrnan is not easily forgotten. His seemingly inexhaustible energy completely overwhelmed us. Who could forget the numbing effect of a succession of long wine filled evenings of lively conversation on literature, politics, education, you name it, followed early the next day by the appearance of the apparently totally refreshed red haired giant eager to discuss our mathematical problems with keen insight en remarkable understanding, ready to lecture on fluid mechanics or optimal control theory or a host of other subjects and ready to work into the evening until the cycle repeated. He thought faster, he knew more, he drank more and he slept less than any of us mortals and he literally wore us out. What a rare privilege indeed to have participated in this intellectual orgy. Tirnrnan's lively interest in almost every thing coupled with his buoyant enthusiasm and infectious op timism epitomized his approach to life. No delicate nibbling at the fringes, he wanted every morsel of every course. In these times of narrow specialization truly renaissance figures are, if not extinct, at least a highly endangered species. But Tirnrnan was one of that rare breed.
