Description and contextualization of the subject
The purpose of this course is to give to the students a general introduction to hydrodynamics preparing them to take the best out of more focused courses proposed in the sequel of the program.The objectives of this course are to give a general overview to students about use of Hydrodynamics in marine and ocean engineering fields, about modelling and physics of free surface flows, numerical simulation in Hydrodynamics, hydrostatic and stability of floating structures.
This global overview will be then detailed in other courses of the Master program.
