Aims
To develop practical experience of experimental techniques in a modern hydrodynamic laboratory
To learn the conduct and procedure for a towing tank test, seakeeping test and propeller efficiency test
To work in a team on practical experimentation
Outline Of Syllabus
Study an “experimental handbook” covering three facilities: Towing Tank, Cavitation Tunnel, Wind Wave Current Tank along with associated papers and documents (e.g. ITTC standards)
Week 1:
- Day 1: Familiarization. Prepare a ship model for testing (scaling, ballasting, load cell, calibration)
- Day 2: Complete a series of towing tank tests and create a resistance and power curve for the ship
- Day 3: Prepare a barge model for seakeeping/stability testing in the Wind Wave Current Tank
- Day 4; Complete a series of motion tests on the barge and produce RAO curves
- Day 5: Complete a series of open water tests on a model propeller in the cavitation tunnel and produce a
KT-KQ-efficiency dataset
Week 2:
- Complete data processing and produce a (PowerPoint-based) report presenting the results and discussing
the experimental methods and uncertainties
Learning Outcomes
Intended Knowledge Outcomes
On completing this module, students will be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:
IKO1: The concepts behind hydrodynamic test facilities
IKO2: The method and application of a practical towing tank drag test
IKO3: The method and application of a practical seakeeping test
IKO4: The method and application of a practical propeller cavitation test
IKO5: Data processing of hydrodynamic experiments
IKO6. The treatment of uncertainty in experimentation
IKO7: The application of relevant standards and codes to experimentation
Intended Skill Outcomes
Opportunities are afforded to develop the following subject specific skills:
ISO1: Use of hydrodynamic experimental facilities
ISO2: Data measurement using load cells, motion tracking, dynamometers and visualisation
ISO3: Data logging and analysis using DAQs and LabView
ISO4: Team working, conduct and health and safety in an experimental laboratory
Teaching Methods
Teaching Activities
| Category | Activity | Number | Length | Student Hours | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Guided Independent Study | Assessment preparation and completion | 1 | 50:00 | 50:00 | Report Preparation |
| Scheduled Learning And Teaching Activities | Small group teaching | 5 | 1:00 | 5:00 | Daily debrief session with module leader. Teams receive formative feedback and assessment |
| Scheduled Learning And Teaching Activities | Small group teaching | 5 | 7:00 | 35:00 | In-Person teamwork in the hydrodynamic laboratories (briefings, model preparation, testing) |
| Guided Independent Study | Independent study | 1 | 10:00 | 10:00 | Online materials accessed in week 1 |
| Total | 100:00 |
Teaching Rationale And Relationship
The module is lab based to encourage a deep understanding of practical experimentation and team work. Online materials are required to support and extend from the learning in the lab. All lab work is supported by academics, demonstrators and technical staff.

Assessment Methods
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners
Other Assessment
| Description | Semester | When Set | Percentage | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Report | 2 | M | 100 | Lab report |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oral Presentation | 2 | M | Each group to present their results to module leader for feedback each day during the lab sessions |
Assessment Rationale And Relationship
Knowledge of the concepts, processes and analysis methods in hydrodynamic experimentation
