marine hydrodynamics

Marine hydrodynamics is the study of how fluids, mainly water, move around objects such as ships, submarines, and marine structures. It involves understanding forces like lift, drag, and wave-making that affect how these objects behave and perform in the water. This field helps designers create efficient, stable vessels by analyzing how water interacts with different shapes and surfaces. It combines principles of physics, fluid mechanics, and engineering to predict and optimize movement, stability, and safety in marine environments.
