Summary: How to shrink fluid dynamics!!
Comment: This book tells you almost everything you need to know about ship hydrodynamics, but you can't really shrink this argument into 300 pages!!
The book is mainly descriptive, if you're looking for an insight in the mathematical (painful) aspect of fluid dynamics, this book is not for you.
Anyway, there are few codes, written by the author, you can download.
Mainly the boolk talks about the flow about a ship, the ship manouvering and the propeller. Per each argument the main problems are addressed. At the end of the book there is a part dedicated to the developing of a panel code.
Good book, maybe overpriced.

Summary: Practical Ship Hydrodynamics
Comment: This book summarize all what is needed to understand the basics of ship hydrodynamics. This a good support for teaching up to PhD level. I should have liked to write this book.

Summary: Fine stuff
Comment: This book is what I would have liked to have earlier for my
lectures. In spite of being comprehensive, it gives not only
a good overview about the physics and current computational
methods of the various fields of ship-related hydrodynamics,
but contains also a host of valuable ideas which are not well
known, and it concentrates on the important aspects within
each field. Many exercises show how to apply the facts and
methods to practical problems.

A difficulty relates to viscous flow computations: Here specific
methods for naval architecture are hardly required; thus this
field is handled superficially only. For all other topics I
know of no other book of comparable quality.
