sci.engr.marine.hydrodynamics - but this is not very active.

However, you might find what you need by doing a Google search in the
"Groups" section for "hull speed". There was a large tread about hull speed
in rec.boats.builder a couple years back. You'll find more opinions than you
ever wanted...

Sakari, there is a Usenet group that discusses hydrodynamics but I can't
remember the exact name.
The word "fluid" was part of it.
