Department of Naval Architecture and Marine

Engineering

• Joint Department of the Universities of Glasgow and Strathclyde

• Established in 2001 through a merger of Department of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering at the University of Glasgow and the Department of Ship and Marine Technology at the University of Strathclyde

• Based at the University of Strathclyde, students have access to resources and facilities of both Universities

• The Engineering Faculty at Strathclyde is the largest Engineering Faculty in Scotland and is one of the UK's leading centres of engineering education and research

• The First Chair of Naval Architecture in the World was established in 1883 at the University of Glasgow

Research

Research – Acre Road Hydrodynamics Laboratory

Research – Acre Road Hydrodynamics Laboratory

• Majority of experimental work performed at this laboratory

• Used for UG & PG student project work, research projects and commercial testing

• Used for measuring: - Ship resistance & sea-keeping, unsteady motion of ships and floating bodies, survivability of

damaged ships, hydrodynamics of towed surface-pierced and submerged bodies, ocean engineering studies, wave impact & slamming studies, marine renewable energy studies

• Dimensions: 76m x 4.6m x 2.5m

• Features: - Carriage: Computer –controlled digital drive

- Wavemaker: generate regular and irregular waves over 0.5 m

- Data acquistion: PC based modular data acquistion/control system.
