Introduction to Naval Architecture

On successful completion of the module, students should be able to:

Prepare the ship’s loading and sailing condition, using the ship’s Hydrostatic CurvesDerive the ship’s stability for the sailing condition, using the ship’s Cross Curves of StabilityAssess the ship’s Statical Stability Curve against the regulatory standardsExplain how damage stability is calculated using the current IMO Probabilistic Approach

Displacement, flotation and equilibriumBonjean curvesHydrostatic curvesDraught determination

Changes of draughtIntact stability

Waves and how they are classified and determined for design and operationTypes of ice and how they developThe important aspects of ship operation in ice and cold environmentsThe need to protect the marine environmentIMO regulations through MARPOLThe ship energy efficiency index and hip design implicationsProtection of the ship in the marine environment

Wind, water and airWaves: general nature and characteristicsDefining an irregular sea

Energy spectraExtreme cold

Ice formation and propertiesIce navigation conditionsOperating in extreme cold

Protection of the environmentImpact of ships on the environmentDesigning to minimise impact and risks

On successful completion of the module, students should be able to:

Name the components of resistance experienced by a ship and explain how full scale resistance maybe calculated from modelexperimentsDescribe the various types of manoeuvring devices and measure the manoeuvring capabilities of a shipDefine the motions of a ship in a seaway and predict the magnitude of these motionsGive examples of ship’s operation in confined waters and various hazards that ships may experience in waves

Hydrodynamics, water flow and roughnessPowering

Resistance: frictional, wavemaking and otherPropulsion: powering, propulsion devices, cavitation
