Overview

This is the only text dedicated to marine control surface design. It covers large ships (merchant and Navy) yachts, powerboats, motor boats, submarines, leisure craft and scale/model craft. It is ideal for professional reference and teaching with worked examples and case studies. It is accompanied by an extensive experimental database and software for theoretical predictions and design development on CD. This book guides marine engineers from first principles to the applied computational fluid dynamic modelling of rudders and control surfaces. It is the only book dedicated to this essential and fast developing marine topic and is written for both professional reference and for teaching purposes. Coverage is comprehensive; it deals with both the theoretical and applied design aspects of the subject, includes detailed case studies of control applications on large, medium, small and scale craft, and is packaged with a valuable CD containing a complete modelling data library plus software for control surface design based on over 10 years of world-class research at the University of Southampton - an incredible resource for engineers in this field.
