Added Masses Of Ship Structures (fluid Mechanics And Its Applications)

Added Masses of Ship Structures FLUID MECHANICS AND ITS APPLICATIONS Volume 88 Series Editor: R. MOREAU MADYLAM Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Hydraulique de Grenoble Boîte Postale 95 38402 Saint Martin d’Hères Cedex, France Aims and Scope of the Series The purpose of this series is to focus on subjects in which fluid mechanics plays a fundamental role. As well as the more traditional applications of aeronautics, hydraulics, heat and mass transfer etc., books will be published dealing with topics which are currently in a state of rapid development, such as turbulence, suspensions and multiphase fluids, super and hypersonic flows and numerical modeling techniques. It is a widely held view that it is the interdisciplinary subjects that will receive intense scientific attention, bringing them to the forefront of technological advancement. Fluids have the ability to transport matter and its properties as well as to transmit force, therefore fluid mechanics is a subject that is particularly open to cross fertilization with other sciences and disciplines of engineering. The subject of fluid mechanics will be highly relevant in domains such as chemical, metallurgical, biological and ecological engineering. This series is particularly open to such new multidisciplinary domains. The median level of presentation is the first year graduate student. Some texts are monographs defining the current state of a field; others are accessible to final year undergraduates; but essentially the emphasis is on readability and clarity.

Computation of the effect of such added masses of various bodies has been the subject of many journal articles, as well as chapters in various textbooks and research
