"Vive la Revolution!" was the theme of the Twenty-Third Symposium on Naval Hydrodynamics held in Val de Reuil, France, from September 17-22, 2000 as more than 140 experts in ship design, construction, and operation came together to exchange naval research developments. The forum encouraged both formal and informal discussion of presented papers, and the occasion provides an opportunity for direct communication between international peers. This book includes sixty-three papers presented at the symposium which was organized jointly by the Office of Naval Research, the National Research Council (Naval Studies Board), and the Bassin d'Essais des Carènes. This book includes the ten topical areas discussed at the symposium: wave-induced motions and loads, hydrodynamics in ship design, propulsor hydrodynamics and hydroacoustics, CFD validation, viscous ship hydrodynamics, cavitation and bubbly flow, wave hydrodynamics, wake dynamics, shallow water hydrodynamics, and fluid dynamics in the naval context.

Surface combatants -- cruisers, destroyers, & frigates -- represent over one-third of the Navy's war-fighting fleet & a significant portion of the annual funding for new ships. This report discusses the Navy's basis for its current & planned surface combatant force, plans to sustain the current force size into the next century, & key factors that could affect future force requirements. It recommends that specific information on the Navy's basis & plans for sustaining the surface combatant force the be provided to Congress for use in deliberations on future naval force size. Photos, charts, tables & graphs.
