Aims
A1 - special hydrodynamics requirements associated with high speed and advanced craft design
A2 - methods for predicting/analysing resistance and dynamic stability of planing mono-hull craft
A3 - methods for predicting/analysing seakeeping behaviour and dynamic stability of twin-hull vessels with
specific emphasis to SWATH (small waterplane area twin-hull) ships
A4 - waterjet principles and applications to high-speed craft
A5 – Principles and applications of Surface Effect Ships
A6 – Principles and applications of Hydrofoil craft
Outline Of Syllabus
This course consists of topics related to technologically advanced and high speed surface vessels.
Categories and types of high speed craft, including:
• Planing craft
Description and working principles
Powering estimations
Dynamic (Porpoising) stability
• Surface Effect Ships
Description and working principles
Water levels inside the air cushion
Effect of air cushion on stability
• Hydrofoil vessels
Main particulars of hydrofoil vessels
Hydrofoil theory
• Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull ships
Twin-hull and SWATH seakeeping philosophy and design considerations
SWATH motion response prediction
Dynamic stability of SWATH and stabilizer design
• Propulsion systems used in high speed and advanced çraft
Waterjets - general features and main components; efficiency calculation and preliminary selection of
water jet; other features of waterjets.
Learning Outcomes
Intended Knowledge Outcomes
On successful completion of this course, students will be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:
IKO1 – Special hydrodynamics and stability phenomena that dominate the design and performance of Planing Craft
IKO2 – Planing craft Resistance and powering estimation and analysis of Planing Craft.
IKO3 – To analyse the design and performance of Surface Effect Ships
IKO4 – To analyse the design and performance of Hydrofoil based craft
IKO5 – To analyse SWATH seakeeping behaviour and dynamic stability
IKO6 – To select/analyse waterjet propulsors for high-speed craft
Intended Skill Outcomes
On successful completion of this course, students will develop the following subject specific and intellectual skills:
ISO1 - combined (numerical, experimental an empirical) skills to tackle specific hydrodynamic performance and
design problems of high-speed craft
ISO2 - combined skills to estimate/analyse powering, seakeeping and dynamic stability performance of high-speed
craft
ISO3 - empirical skill to select/analyse waterjet propulsor for high-speed craft

Teaching Rationale And Relationship
Lectures in the classroom provide the students with general understanding of and familiarity of the special hydrodynamic requirements (IKO1, ISO1) of high speed craft; to learn techniques/develop skills to estimate/analyse resistance, seakeeping and dynamic stability behaviour (IKO2,3,4, ISO2); to select and analyse waterjets (IKO6, ISO3).
Observation of video films on the special hydrodynamic behaviour of planing craft and SWATH ships with commentary helps the students to understand and have the knowledge of specific hydrodynamics problems (IKO1).
This module covers a wide range of topics for different vessel types within relatively limited lecturing hours. The students are therefore strongly recommended and are guided to read classic and the state-of-the-art papers in their independent study time to support the lectures and to catch-up with the latest developments in this fast-developing subject area.

Formative Assessments
Formative Assessment is an assessment which develops your skills in being assessed, allows for you to receive feedback, and prepares you for being assessed. However, it does not count to your final mark.
| Description | Semester | When Set | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prob solv exercises | 2 | M | Assessment to determine the characteristics of a planning craft in different loading conditions (arrival and departure). |
Assessment Rationale And Relationship
The assessment allows the students to demonstrate their basic knowledge and understanding of the subject as well as to demonstrate their problem solving skills through short subject specific problems, under time constraints as required in industry.
