In 2013 the Hamburgische Schiffbau-Versuchsanstalt (HSVA) celebrates its 100th anni-versary. This book commemorates its maritime research, innovation and progress driven by their clients and their projects. This book is not a collection of scientific papers, but is an enjoyable celebration of model testing and the resulting products - ships and maritime structures in stormy seas and freezing waters.
HSVA@100 starts in the far past with the first English/Swedish tank towing experiments of Charles Sheldon and Frederik Chapman, introduces William Froude's ground breaking work and moves on into the more recent history of the 1900-1960s before entering to-day's sophisticated world of maritime research.
HSVA@100 then opens up into its main sections comprising model testing in its ice tank and towing tank facilities as well as in the cavitation tunnels. HSVA@100 is lavishly illus-trated with images from company facilities set against finished products - ships, boats and water structures of every kind and size. The copy is an accolade to the whole mari-time industry - designers, builders, owners, operators and suppliers.
