  1. 16. Determining the pressure distribution on submerged 2D bodies using dissipative potential flow.

    University essay from KTH/Marina system

    Author : Mirjam Fürth; [2011]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Globalization is reaching the furthest corners of the world and with globalizations comes a rising demand on transportation. In shipping; a significant cost both to the ship owners and the environment are the fossil fuels used for propulsion, even a small reduction in the wave resistance can bring considerable reductions both in operating costs and emissions for such ships.
