course aims in English
The aim of the course is to provide basics of ship hydrodynamics. Students will learn the fundamentals of ship resistance and propulsion and relevant model testing theory.
learning outcomes in the course in Est.
Üliõpilane:
- teab hüdrodünaamika põhilisi teoreetilisi aluseid;
- kasutab teoreetilisi ja eksperimentaalseid meetodeid vees laeva liikumise parameetrite arvutamiseks ning hindamiseks;
learning outcomes in the course in Eng.
A student:
- knows main theoretical fundamentals of hydrodynamics;
- is able to use theoretical and experimental methods for calculation and assessing of parameters of a ship moving in/through water.
brief description of the course in Estonian
Vedelike põhilised füüsikalised omadused. Hüdrodünaamika olemus. Kiiruse väli, kiiruse potentsiaal. Vedeliku liikumise diferentsiaalvõrrandid. Pöörisväli. Kiiruse tsirkulatsioon. Vedeliku laminaarne ja turbulentne voolamine. Lainete teooria alused. Kehade liikumine vedelikus. Laeva liikumistakistus sügavas ja madalas vees ning veetakistuse liigid; veetakistuse arvutamine teoreetiliste ja eksperimentaalsete meetodite abil. Laeva käikuvus. Laeva, sh väikelaeva propulsiivsed omadused. Laeva õõtsuvus ja käikuvus vaikses vees ning lainetusel. Sarnasusteooria ja hüdrodünaamilise modelleerimise põhimõtted. Froude’i ja Reynolds’i kriteeriumid. Laeva ja laevamudelite sõidu- ja manööverdamiskatsete teoreetilised alused. Katsebasseinis, aerodünaamilises torus ning vabaveekogu tingimustes läbi viidavate katsete teoreetilised alused.

50% Assignments (Asst.)
50% Written exams:
a) Mid-term test (T1) on Part 1 and test (T2) on Part 2 of the course.
b) Exam (E) covering the whole scope of the course.

5 Assignments consisting of 2-4 exercises giving 2-5 points, totalling 10 points.
Written mid-term test (T1) and test on Part 2 (T2), each test consisting of 3-4 exercises giving 3-5 points, each test totalling 10 points.
Written exam covering the whole course (E) consisting of 4-5 exercises giving 3-5 points, totalling 20 points.

The sum of points for each item is converted into a grade using the following principles: (Asst.1+Asst.2+Asst.3+Asst.4+Asst.5)+max((T1+T2); E)*2.5=100p

“5” excellent 91-100
“4” very good 81-90
“3” good 71-80
“2” satisfactory 61-70
“1” poor 51-60
“0” fail less than 51
