MARINE RUDDERS AND CONTROL SURFACES

The content of the publication was prepared to guide the practicing naval architects and students of naval architecture from the original theoretical principles of control surface operation up to the use of the various empirical and experimental data as well as the applied CFD modeling of the ship rudders and control surfaces.

The methods that are commonly applied to the control surface design have been described in this publication in detail and their application to the particular design cases has been clearly explained. All of the design procedures covered have been supplemented with numerous informative working examples. In fact, this is the only publication available today on the subject, and it will provide readers with the valuable technical information related to the theoretical and practical design which will be particularly useful to the engineers and designers.

The text of the volume has been accompanied with the online database of the information obtained in the course of the experiments. Please have a close look in this book especially if you are engaged in the design of marine rudders or planning to get involved in the design and engineering activities.
