Ebook: Principles of Naval Architecture (Second Revision), Volume III - Motions in Waves and Controllability

This book provides excellent coverage of hydrodynamic issues for all levels of design, including parametric analysis of seakeeping and maneuvering (based on basic hull parameters) at the concept level to fundamental theories for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and model test data necessary for advanced analysis.
