Preface
This book reflects the work of a great number of researchers as well as our own experience from research and teaching of hydrodynamics and ship-propeller theory over a combined span of more than 60 years. Its development began in 1983-84 during the senior author's tenure as visiting professor in the Department of Ocean Engineering, The Technical University of Denmark, by invitation from Professor Sv. Aa. Harvald. During this sabbatical year he taught a course based on his knowledge of propeller
theory garnered over many years as a researcher at Davidson Laboratory and professor at Stevens Institute of Technology. Written lecture notes were required, so we were soon heavily engaged in collecting material and writing a serial story of propeller hydrodynamics with weekly publications As that large audience consisted of relatively few masters and doctoral students but many experienced naval architects, it was necessary to show mathematical developments in greater detail and, in addition, to display correlations between theory and practical results Encouraged by Professor P. Terndrup Pedersen, Department of Ocean Engineering, The Technical University of Denmark, we afterwards started expanding, modifying and improving the notes into what has now become this book. In the spirit of the original lecture notes it has been written primarily for two groups of readers, viz. students of naval architecture and ship and propeller hydrodynamics, at late undergraduate and graduate levels, and practicing naval architects dealing with advanced propulsion problems. It is our goal that such readers, upon completion of the book, will be able to understand the physical problems of ship-propeller
hydrodynamics, comprehend the mathematics used, read past and current literature, interpret calculation and experimental findings and correlate theory with their own practical experiences To make reading as easy as possible the mathematical concepts and derivations which might have caused trouble for those readers of a more practical
background have been explained and executed in far greater detail than found in the literature. Physical interpretations are given throughout together with explanations of the procedures and results in engineering terms and with simple solutions of practical utility wherever possible
