Staff Profile

David is a ship hydrodynamicist who specialises is numerical modelling, especially in the areas of marine propellers, ship manoeuvring and ship performance at sea.

His interests are predominantly involved with design and analysis for the non-linear environment (real service conditions) in which marine vehicles operate.

Research interests:
•    Ship system simulation in service conditions
•    Seakeeping and Manoeuvring
•    Ship Resistance and Propulsion
•    Design and operation of sail assisted ships
