Marine engineering

Also listed as: הנדסה ימית

Hydrostatics, resistance, propulsion and seakeeping. A small field in Israel with a defined set of employers, and the natural home of anyone who wants offshore or subsea work.

Comes after

  • Fluid mechanics 1

Opens up

  • Hydrodynamics and offshore research

What it covers

Topics

  • Ship geometry and hydrostatics, buoyancy, stability and metacentric height
  • Resistance: wave-making and frictional components, Froude scaling
  • Propulsion and propeller theory
  • Seakeeping and vessel motions
  • Marine power plants
  • Hydrodynamic loads
  • Introduction to naval architecture and offshore structures

Results worth carrying out

  • Metacentric height

    GM=KB+BMKG\overline{GM} = \overline{KB} + \overline{BM} - \overline{KG}
  • Froude scaling

    Fr=VgL\mathrm{Fr} = \frac{V}{\sqrt{gL}}
  • Propeller coefficients

    KT=Tρn2D4,KQ=Qρn2D5,J=VanDK_T = \frac{T}{\rho n^2 D^4}, \quad K_Q = \frac{Q}{\rho n^2 D^5}, \quad J = \frac{V_a}{nD}

Figures worth knowing

  • Hull lines and body plan
  • Metacentric stability diagram
  • Resistance curves
  • Propeller open-water curves

We also write the summaries.

This map tells you what a course contains. The summaries, the tutoring and the people who already took it are the part you get by joining.

The topic outlines are not official syllabi. The university publishes a catalogue blurb per course, not lecture-by-lecture material, so each outline describes what a course of that name, at those hours, with those prerequisites teaches at engineering schools generally, cross-checked against the standard textbook for the subject. Treat it as an informed map, not as a transcript of the lectures.
