Course Objective

The objectives of the lecture are to teach to students the applications, occurring problems and their solutions of "Aerodynamics of Ships and Offshore Structures" (regarding aerodynamics of ships and offshore structures, fluid flows around them, wind characteristics over seas, determination of aerodynamic loads in ships and offshore platforms), which students use frequently both during their study as well as during their profession. In lectures, different kinds of problems are modeled and solved in order that students understand subjects and apply his knowledge rapidly.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To acquire knowledge concerning aerodynamics of ships and offshore structures.
2   To learn wind characteristics over seas.
3   To realize fluid flow around blocks having sharp-edged geometry, ships and offshore platforms and to be able to solve respective engineering problems.
4   To learn methods applied concerning determining aerodynamic loads and to be able to perform respective calculations.
5   To realize determination of wind loads in ships and offshore platforms.
