Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The various physical aspects of an environmentally friendly method of transport are treated: Mechanics, hydrodynamics, theory of waves, materials science.

Assessment and permitted materials

Oral examination

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

To get a thorough understanding of the mechanisms which move a wind-driven craft, based on hydrodynamics, materials science, theory of oscillations etc.

Examination topics

Lecture series relying heavily on graphic material presented via data projector. Interaction with students (discussions) are encouraged. There will be an excursion to the Vienna Model Basin Ltd.
