Abstract:

Continuing the traditional policy of featuring current research results in important problem areas in ship hydrodynamics, Unsteady Hydrodynamics of Marine Vehicles was selected as the theme for the Eleventh Symposium. The technical programme covered a broad range of topics under this general theme including several sessions on modern experimental techniques, on the behaviour of marine vehicles in waves and in restricted waters, on related general hydrodynamic problems, on the hydrodynamic loads and structural responses of ships in a seaway, on the hydrodynamic performance of various unconventional craft, and on unsteady propulsion problems.
