Amirkabir University of Technology Press Publishes the Book “Principles of Ship Maneuvering and Hydrofoil Craft”
The book “Principles of Ship Maneuvering and Hydrofoil Craft” by Dr. Hamid Zeraatgar, focusing on the hydrodynamics of ship and hydrofoil maneuvering and the effective controllability of these vessels under various sea conditions.
The book of “Principles of Ship Maneuvering and Hydrofoil Craft” delves into ship hydrodynamics, which encompasses various components—one of the most significant being the ship’s maneuverability. In hydrodynamics, the central focus of study is the interaction between the fluid and the vessel, and depending on the type of motion of the body within the fluid, the forces acting on the ship will vary accordingly.
Ship hydrodynamics covers the overall behavior of ships at sea, including resistance, propeller and propulsion systems, ship dynamics in waves, and ship maneuvering, which are among its key aspects. Each of these areas examines and analyzes a specific characteristic of the vessel.
Ship maneuvering refers to the vessel’s ability to be effectively controlled under all sea conditions that may occur during navigation.
Dr. Zeraatgar has structured his book into two main sections: the first part focuses on the hydrodynamics of ship maneuvering, while the second part addresses the hydrodynamics of hydrofoil craft maneuvering.
This book is particularly valuable for graduate students in marine engineering as well as for researchers in the field of ship and hydrofoil maneuvering hydrodynamics.
