SKMO 3353: SHIP RESISTENCE AND PROPULSION
This course introduces students to ship hydrodynamics, dimensional analysis, fundamentals of ship resistance, ship resistance and its components and methods of determining ship total resistance. The course then introduces the fundamentals of ship model testing and extrapolation methods to full scale ships.
The course discusses various marine propulsors and specifically the marine propeller. The course also includes the description of propeller geometrical features and its effect on propeller performance. Propeller theories, methods of propeller design and the study of cavitation phenomena together with the analysis of propeller-engine matching also discussed.
SKMM 3023: APPLIED NUMERICAL METHODS
This course formally introduces the steps involve in engineering analysis (mathematical modeling, solving the governing equation, and interpretation of the results). Example of case studies in applied mechanics, strength of materials, themal science, and fluid mechanics are presented. Methods for solving the nonlinear equations, simultaneous linear algebraic equations, eigenvalue problem, interpolation, numerical differentiation, numerical integration, initial value problems, boundary value problem and partial differential equation are introduced.
