PREFACE

The Third International Conference on Numerical Ship Hydrodynamics was held in Paris, France, on 16-19 June 1981 at the Palais des Congrès. The Conference was sponsored jointly by the Délégation Générale pour I'Armement, the David W. Taylor Naval Ship Research and Development Center and the Office of Naval Research.

For a third time researchers from throughout the world came together to present and discuss their latest work in this rapidly evolving and increasingly more important specialty. While the first two Conferences were quite international in character, this meeting was the first o f t h e series held outside ofthe United States and hence the multinational nature ofthe research was even further highlighted. Perhaps partly because of both the location in Europe and the large time span of four years since the previous meeting, such a large number of high quality papers were submitted that the Conference duration was extended to four days from the originally planned three. Even so, many good papers had to be rejected.

It was gratifying to see that so many researchers are tackling the important and difficult vortex flow problems. On the other hand, it was disappointing to receive very little response to the call for papers in the areas of boundary layer flows, flow-induced structural vibrations, and hydrodynamic noise. Perhaps this lack of response will serve to stimulate researchers to consider the opportunities in these challenging areas.

As usual, the success of this Conference was due to the collective efforts of a large number of individuals. This opportunity is taken to mention the contributions of those whose efforts would othenwise be unrecorded. The personal help of Professor Daniel Euvrard is gratefully acknowledged. Special thanks go to Mr Arestier and his staff in the Reprography Service who worked efficiently in preparing all the preprints associated with the Conference. Finally, we wish to thank Mrs Christiane Chamaud, Secretary to the Conference for her invaluable assis-tance in the many aspects of the organization of the Conference. Thanks are also due to Mrs Evelyne Lescureux of the Documentation Service who contributed to the success of the Conference.
