Symposium Proceedings
The Second Symposium on Naval Hydrodynamics was held in Washington, D.C. on Aug. 25-29, 1956.
Excerpt from the Symposium Foreword:
In September of 1956, the first Symposium on Naval Hydrodynamics, sponsored by the Office of Naval Research and the National Academy of Sciences – National Research Council, was held for the specific purpose of presenting authoritative, critical surveys of those areas of Hydrodynamics that are of significance in naval science. In keeping with the original plans set down for this series, subsequent meetings were to be devoted to one or more themes selected on the basis of importance and need for research stimulation, on the one hand, or of achievement of important "breakthroughs" and hence of interest for wide dissemination, on the other. Thus, the present symposium achieved an example of each criterion: hydro- and aerodynamic noise (of great importance in both warfare and commercial usage of ships and aircraft), and super-cavitating and ventilated flows (which promise, for example, possibilities of high-speed marine propulsion at efficiencies hitherto not thought attainable).
