Download and read online ebook Mitigation Of Hydrodynamic Resistance: Methods To Reduce Hydrodynamic Drag write by Marc Perlin. This book was released on 2014-11-18. Mitigation Of Hydrodynamic Resistance: Methods To Reduce Hydrodynamic Drag available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This text presents the state of the art in friction drag/resistance reduction technologies for BODIES and crafts operating in liquids at and beneath the free surface. It is useful for professionals with backgrounds in advanced fluid dynamics as well as by academics teaching introductory graduate courses in this area. Active control of resistance will include a discussion of friction reduction, for example through the injection of gas that can form air layers and polymers that initially reside adjacent to the hull, including the use of partial and super cavities. The book discusses passive resistance control achieved through changes in the overall hull shape and appendages, including the application of lifting bodies, bulbous bows, and stern flaps. It also addresses passive reduction of skin friction through the application of hull coatings and other elements of hull husbandry.
