Download or read book Fundamentals of Ship Hydrodynamics written by Lothar Birk and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-04-25 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamentals of Ship Hydrodynamics: Fluid Mechanics, Ship Resistance and Propulsion Lothar Birk, University of New Orleans, USA Bridging the information gap between fluid mechanics and ship hydrodynamics Fundamentals of Ship Hydrodynamics is designed as a textbook for undergraduate education in ship resistance and propulsion. The book provides connections between basic training in calculus and fluid mechanics and the application of hydrodynamics in daily ship design practice. Based on a foundation in fluid mechanics, the origin, use, and limitations of experimental and computational procedures for resistance and propulsion estimates are explained. The book is subdivided into sixty chapters, providing background material for individual lectures. The unabridged treatment of equations and the extensive use of figures and examples enable students to study details at their own pace. Key features: • Covers the range from basic fluid mechanics to applied ship hydrodynamics. • Subdivided into 60 succinct chapters. • In-depth coverage of material enables self-study. • Around 250 figures and tables. Fundamentals of Ship Hydrodynamics is essential reading for students and staff of naval architecture, ocean engineering, and applied physics. The book is also useful for practicing naval architects and engineers who wish to brush up on the basics, prepare for a licensing exam, or expand their knowledge.

Download or read book The Life and Ship Models of Norman Ough written by Alistar Roach and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2016-10-30 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Brings Ough’s life and work beautifully to light in a volume rich in photographs, drawings, technical detail and personality.”—Schopenhauer’s Workshop Norman Ough is considered by many as simply the greatest ship modeler of the twentieth century and his exquisite drawings and meticulous models have come to be regarded as masterpieces of draughtsmanship, workmanship and realism; more than technically accomplished ship models, they are truly works of art. This new book is both a tribute to his lonely genius and a practical treatise for model shipwrights. Ough lived most of his adult life far from the sea in a flat high above the Charing Cross Road in London, where his frugal existence and total absorption in his work led to hospitalization on at least two occasions; he was an eccentric in the truest sense but he also became one of the most sought-after masters of his craft. Earl Mountbatten had him model the ships he had served on; his model of HMS Queen Elizabeth was presented to Earl Beatty; film production companies commissioned models for effects in several films. Incorporating many of his original articles from Model Maker Magazine, his detailed line drawings now kept in the Brunel Institute, and photographs of his models held in museums and at Mountbatten’s house, this book presents an inspiring panorama of perhaps the most perfect warship models ever made. “An amazing, almost intimidating view of the method, modelling, drawings, and a life of a builder so obsessed with his work that some may say he was a man who went down with his ships.”—FineScale Modeler
Download or read book Miniature Ship Models written by Paul Jacobs and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2008-05-30 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive history of how the 1:1200 scale and its 1:1250 continental equivalent became accepted as the modern standard for miniature ship models. The origins can be traced back to the first years of the twentieth century and their use as identification aids by the military during the First World War, but when peace came the manufacturers aimed their increasingly sophisticated products at collectors, and acquiring, modifying or scratch-building miniature ship models has been an avidly pursued hobby ever since. This book charts the commercial rise and fall of the manufacturers, and the advancing technology that produces ever more detailed and accurate replicas. The author - himself a lifetime collector and builder of models - looks at the products of each manufacturer, past and present, rating their quality and suggesting why some are regarded as more collectible than others. But the book deals with more than off-the-shelf models, covering subsidiary issues like painting, modifying and diorama settings, and is illustrated throughout with many of the finest examples of the genre. The combination of fascinating background information with stunning visual presentation will make this book irresistible to any collector or enthusiast.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a large part of the 20th century, until their closure in 1994, the ship model testing tanks at Teddington and Feltham played a major role in the design and development of merchant ships as we now know them. This is a record of the research and test programmes conducted there.
Download or read book Ship Models for the Military written by Fred Dorris and published by . This book was released on 2010-02-15 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When America entered World War Two the armed forces needed tools to teach soldiers, sailors and airmen how to recognize friendly and enemy ships. The solution was found in recognition models. Produced by a few small manufacturers these models formed a key component in training programs during the war and became sought after collectables in the post-war years. The first book devoted to the story of the wartime recogntiion models, Ship Models for the Military covers all of the major producers tracing their origins and the role each company played in the wartime model program. The well known 1:500 Teacher models and the 1:1200 miniature models are covered in depth along with the mostly forgotten 1:600 scale models. Over 100 illustrations showing models and training materials are included. Collectors will find the comprehensive listings of models produced, set compositions and auction pricing data of great value.
Download or read book Tanker Spills written by Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1991-02-01 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can we design an oil tanker that meets our complex demands for environmental protection, economical operation, and crew safety? This volume evaluates and ranks a wide variety of tank ship hull designs proposed by experts around the world. Based on extensive research and studies, the book explores the implications of our rising demand for petroleum and increase in tanker operations; U.S. government regulations and U.S. Coast Guard policies regarding designs for new tank vessel construction; how new ship design would affect crew safety, maintenance, inspection, and other technical issues; the prospects for retrofitting existing tankers to reduce the risk of oil spills; and more. The conclusions and recommendations will be particularly important to maritime safety regulators in the United States and abroad; naval architects; ship operators and engineers; and officials in the petroleum, shipping, and marine insurance industries.
