Synopsis

This book delves into the intricate relationship between ship form, resistance, screw propulsion, and wave-making, providing a comprehensive understanding of these crucial elements in naval architecture. The author, writing from a practical perspective, combines theoretical principles with experimental data, offering clear explanations and guidance on how to optimize ship design. By examining the mechanics of skin friction, eddy-making, and wave formation, the book provides a solid foundation for understanding the forces that ships encounter in water. It also explores the principles of screw propellers, their geometry, and how to achieve efficient propulsion. This book serves as a valuable resource for naval architects, engineers, and students, enabling them to advance their knowledge of ship performance and design.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
