Resources
This section contains links to all downloadable resources on my web-site.
Unfinished Works
First, there is the 7th revision of my paper being written with Prof Paul Miller entitled, A Comparison of Parametric Analysis, Tank Testing and CFD Methods As Part Of An Advanced Sailboat Velocity Prediction Program. The Unfinished Marine Technology Paper may be found here.
Completed Works
First, I have my Master's Thesis. It's on Lagrangian methods in fluid dynamics. I conducted this work under Prof Yeung, University of California at Berkeley.
Secondly, I have my Trident Project. It is on performance analysis of the Mk II Navy 44 STC. I completed this research under Prof Paul Miller, United States Naval Academy.
I wrote a paper on the use of multiple sources for a Directional Wave Spectrum for ocean waves. This was a term paper written for Prof Mansour, University of California at Berkeley.
I wrote another term paper on the use of the FEM in ship plating. This was a term paper also written for Prof Mansour, University of California at Berkeley.
I also have a paper on Risk Management in Offshore Racing. This was a term paper written for Prof Bea, University of California at Berkeley.
I have a paper detailing more of the Theoretical Aspects of FEM. This paper was actually a final exam for a class at UC Berkeley on an "Introduction to FEM." The class was taught by Prof Zhodi, and I would recommend him as one of the best professors I'd ever had.
Along with a friend, Tim O'Donnell, I wrote a paper on a Boundary Integral Formulation of Flow over a Submerged Plate. This was for a class at UC Berkeley on Advanced Marine Hydrodynamics, taught by Dr. Cermelli.
Hull Design Spreadsheets
I am planning to update all of these spreadsheets for interoperability with one another. Therefore, many have unfinished qualities to them.The first hull design resource I have for download is a PHRF spreadsheet. There are no special functions in this spreadsheet, just a database of boats.
The second resource I have is my Parametric Design spreadsheet. This will produce a table of offsets for given values of LWL, Disp, LCB, LCF, etc.
Next, I have my Hydrostatics spreadsheet. This spreadsheet takes as input a table of offsets (from the design spreadsheet), and will calculate a righting arm curve.
Finally, I have my Michell's theory spreadsheet. This spreadsheet operates in a similar form to the design spreadsheet, but will calculate resistance of the ship based on Michell's theory.
