Design optimisation of Propeller Boss Cap Fins for enhanced propeller performance

hydrodynamic design of contra-rotating propeller for the ships

this paper describes a contra-rotating propeller (crp) system to calculate the hydrodynamic characteristics and then design the optimum operational condition to be installed on two different large bulk carriers and vlcc. the method is based on boundary element method (bem) to obtain the hydrodynamic performance of any complicated configuration such as crp system, and then the optimum propeller ...

Parallel Processing System Design with "Propeller" Processor

This is a technical and experimental report of parallel processing, using the "Propeller" chip. Its eight 32 bits processors (cogs) can operate simultaneously, either independently or cooperatively, sharing common resources through a central hub. I introduce this unique processor and discuss about the possibility to develop interactive systems and smart interfaces in media arts, because we need...

Computational Analysis of Propeller Sheet Cavitation and Propeller-ship Interaction

This paper describes a computational procedure which is being developed for the practical analysis of propeller sheet cavitation and propeller-ship interaction including hull pressure fluctuations. The computational procedure consists of three different, coupled methods: (i) a RANS method for the analysis of the viscous flow around the ship hull and the determination of the velocity field in th...

High Altitude Propeller Design and Analysis Overview

The Development of a Decision Support System for Propeller Design

The development of any design support system (DSS) is complex. It depends on the task being supported and the organization that is going to use it including its present design practices. This paper describes the initial steps in developing a DSS for marine propeller design based on the process carried out at HSVA (Hamburg Ship Model Basin). We follow a structured approach for this development. ...
