Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - High Speed Monohull and Hydrofoil Craft: Performance, Technology, and Applications provides comprehensive coverage of the basic hydrodynamics of high-speed monohulls and hydrofoil craft useful to students and engineers alike.The first half of the book introduces different hull shapes for semi-planing and planing craft with examples from their development through the last century. Succeeding chapters then describe the hydrodynamic theory behind their performance in calm water and a seaway. They also document the extensive series of model test programs naval architects use to create prediction models for resistance and powering. Electronic versions of a number of these are included for readers' use. A final chapter on monohulls looks at hull geometric form that has been developed to provide the best possible combination of resistance in waves and motion response through a combination of a deep and sharp forefoot and a hard chine cross-section towards the stern for patrol vessels and offshore logistics craft.The book's second half introduces the various geometries and planform configurations of hydrofoils under a fast craft hull. It reviews the development of these craft for inland waterways, such as major river systems, and the rougher environment of seaways, such as the Mediterranean and Atlantic oceans. It is followed by hydrofoil theory in an ideal fluid close to a free surface. Then the theory for a real fluid includes the vorticity and effect of planform, dihedral, and surface interaction. Hydrofoil craft design and analysis are covered next. Finally, there is a chapter on special configurations, such as craft having foils just at the bow and hydrofoil craft based on catamaran hulls.…

Professor Liang Yun has more than 40 years’ experience at the Marine Design & Research Institute of China, Shanghai (MARIC). He graduated from the Shipbuilding Engineering Faculty of Da-Lian Polytechnic University in 1953 and completed a postgraduate diploma at the Military Engineering Academy of China in 1955. He has been involved in ACV development in China since the first prototypes were constructed in Harbin in the 1950s. He was involved in the design and prototype construction of WIG craft in the 1990s and the development of high-speed catamarans and air cavity vessels through the millennium. He was director of the HPMV division, MARIC, from 1983 to 1987 and Deputy Chief Naval Architect of MARIC from 1980 to 1997. He has been a Guest Professor supporting HPMV postgraduate students at Harbin Engineering University and Wu Han Water Transportation University in the early 1990s. Prof. Yun has been Chairman of HPMV Design subcommittee of the China Society of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, CSNAME, over the last 20 years and vice chairman of the organizing committee of the annual International HPMV Conference, Shanghai, China, since 1996. He continued to play an active role in promoting and developing HPMV technology in China through his association with the industry and Chinese Universities. Professor Yun has partnered with Alan Bliault on five textbooks covering ACV, WIG, and HPMV technology before the current volume on monohull and hydrofoil vessels. Liang Yun died in Shanghai on 26th December 2020.
Prof. Zu-shun Dong graduated from Naval Engineering University (NEU), Peoples Liberation Army (PLA), China, in 1959. After graduation, he was appointed as an assistant professor, associate professor, and professor in the NEU, working on the teaching, research, and design of hydrodynamics of High-Performance Marine Vessels (HPMV), such as high-speed monohull craft, hydrofoils, air cushion craft, wing in ground effect craft, hydroplanes, catamarans, and multihulls. He was appointed as a member of the Hydrodynamics Committee of the General Armament Department (GAD), PLA, from 1987 to 2007 and the first specialist on hydrodynamics of the HPMV Committee of GAD, PLA. He was a professor at Harbin Industrial University from 2011-2014 and Qian-Dao Science & Technology University from 2010-2015.

Raju Datla is a Research Associate Professor in Naval and Ocean Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology. He manages the experimental marine hydrodynamics research at the Davidson Laboratory. His expertise is in the areas of high-speed craft hydrodynamics and ocean engineering, in which he has so far prepared more than 50 technical articles. He teaches courses to undergraduate and graduate students in naval engineering and ocean engineering at Stevens. He has served as principal advisor to six Ph.D. dissertations and more than 50 master’s and undergraduate theses and design projects so far. He received his Ph.D. in Ocean Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology. He is a fellow of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. Dr. Datla has previously participated in editing a compendium of the first 20 years of papers presented to the International HPMV Conference held regularly in Shanghai by CSNAME, which the RINA also supports. During the 2000s, he worked on hydrodynamic planing research together with Daniel Savitsky at the Davidson Laboratory, publishing original papers on the spray boundary in partnership with him.
A Naval Architect and Offshore Engineer, Alan Bliault is a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects and graduated from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. His initial career was at Vosper Thornycroft, working with the design and operation of hovercraft and air cushion platforms. Subsequently, he worked in the offshore industry, developing new offshore loading systems. He was responsible for hydrodynamic design for the Conoco Hutton field Tension Leg Platform in the UK and subsequently at Norske Shell for Draugen Platform substructure mechanical outfitting, hydrodynamics, tow-out, and installation in Haltenbanken. In the mid-1990s, he led the development of new API and ISO standards for subsea flexible flowlines and risers based in Holland. Throughout the millennium, he led Shell International’s development of the Floating LNG production system for remote gas fields. Since then, he has held various project management, construction, and R&D roles. He has worked as a senior auditor in Shell’s central Internal Audit group evaluating risk and management controls at major projects and operating companies worldwide from 2013 to 2016. He has maintained a close interest in high-speed marine craft throughout his career, leading to his partnership with Liang Yun on maritime engineering textbooks, including the present volume on High-Speed Monohull Vessels and Hydrofoils. This work has, since the late 1980s, been a continuous research project alongside his “day job”!

Terms of sale
General Terms and Conditions and Customer Information / Privacy Policy
I. General Terms and Conditions
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions apply to all contracts that you conclude with us as a provider (AHA-BUCH GmbH) via the Internet platforms AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any of your own terms and conditions used by you will be objected to
(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following regulations is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to their commercial nor their independent professional activity. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The object of the contract is the sale of goods.
(2) If an article is listed by us at AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the offer page at AbeBooks or ZVAB constitutes the binding offer to conclude a contract under the conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract is concluded via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The goods intended for purchase are stored in the "shopping cart". Via the corresponding button in the navigation bar you can call up the "shopping cart" and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the "Checkout" page and entering the personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, all order data will be displayed again on the order overview page.
Before sending the order, you have the option of checking all information again, changing it (also via the "back" function of the Internet browser) or cancelling the purchase.
By submitting the order via the "Buy now" button, you declare the acceptance of the offer in a legally binding manner, whereby the contract is concluded.
(4) The processing of the order and transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is partly automated by e-mail. You must therefore ensure that the e-mail address you have stored with us is correct, that the receipt of the e-mails is technically ensured and, in particular, that spam filters do not prevent it.
§ 3 Right of retention, retention of title
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if it concerns claims from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until full payment of the purchase price.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights exist.
(2) In the case of used goods, the warranty period is one year from delivery of the item, deviating from the statutory regulation. The shortening of the deadline does not apply:
- culpably caused damages attributable to us from injury to life, limb or health and in the case of other damages caused intentionally or through gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item.
(3) As a consumer, you are requested to check the item immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage and to inform us and the freight forwarder of any complaints as soon as possible. If you do not comply with this, this will have no effect on your statutory warranty claims.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of performance, place of jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as this does not withdraw the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer's habitual residence (principle of favourability).
(2) The place of performance for all services arising from the existing business relationships with us as well as the place of jurisdiction is our registered office, insofar as you are not a consumer, but a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. The same applies if you do not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if the domicile or habitual residence is not known at the time the action is brought. The right to appeal to the court at another statutory place of jurisdiction remains unaffected by this.
(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall expressly not apply.
