He is (used to be?) a researcher at an institute or uni in western Australia. Lars Larsson used to be a hydrodynamics professor at the university I got my degrees at (*). My brother was one of his PhD students. My brother met Kim Klaka during a trip down under in 1995. Now this pops up here. Small planet /Martin *) My boat was built in the workshop of the marine engineering department of that university. Usenet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet Hello Martin, yes I am still around! I retired from Academia 12 years ago. Re friction and boundary layers (and other yacht design topics) I published an ebook 3 years ago that might be of interest to forum readers. Not sure of the forum policies on advertising so I will just say that if you Google my name and yacht design, it will get you there. Dr Kim Klaka Quote Link to post Share on other sites
