Summary
Background
This appendix provides a background to basic fluid flow patterns, terminology and definitions, together with the basic laws governing fluid flow. The depth of description is intended to provide the background necessary to understand the basic fluid flows relating to ship resistance and propulsion. Some topics have been taken, with permission, from Molland and Turnock [A1.1]. Other topics, such as skin friction drag, effects of surface roughness, pressure drag and cavitation are included within the main body of the text. Descriptions of fluid mechanics to a greater depth can be found in standard texts such as Massey and Ward-Smith [A1.2] and Duncan et al. [A1.3].
From an engineering perspective, it is sufficient to consider a fluid to be a continuous medium which will deform continuously to take up the shape of its container, being incapable of remaining in a fixed shape of its own accord.
