Study Guide

Objective

The student is able to determine the main engine power for ships and boats with one method and make a sea trial prediction. The student can use the basic concepts of ships and boats motions in regular waves in his/her work.

Content

The course of Resistance, Powering and Seakeeping of Ships relates to engine power prediction, propeller design, and motions of ships and other structures in regular waves.

Teaching methods

Theory, model tests, exercises.

Content scheduling

Short recap on fluid mechanics, ship resistance and power requirement, ship propellers, propeller design and optimization, fitting the main engine to the propeller, seaworthiness and maneuvering.

Evaluation scale

H-5

Assessment methods and criteria

1st midterm = 24 points
2nd midterm = 18 points
Possible 4 bonus points from given exercises

Grades:
33% = 8p = 1 (this has to be reached without the bonus points, the stability calculation in midterm 2 has to be right)
41% max =2
55% max =3
70% max =4
80% max =5
max = 42 + 4 = 46 points

Model tests at Aalto university if possible.
Model test report graded 0 - 5
Course grade weighted average of exams and bonus points (weight factor 3/4) and model test report (weight factor 1/4)
