4 An example of a complete geometrical description of a foil section (includ ing anti-singing trailing edge modifications) using a fourth order uniform B-spline. The symbols connected with dashed lies represent the B-spline
A propeller (more explicitly named as blade propeller or screw propeller) is a propulsion device that creates relative motion by forcing the environmental fluid axially backwards, by means of azimuthally-rotating blades mounted in a shaft that is driven by an engine (reciprocating, rotational, turbine, electrical...).
The operating conditions of a propeller according to the propeller law are de-scribed for free sailing in calm weather. The influence of the propeller size and speed is considered along with different philosophies for optimising hull and propeller interactions. Chapter 3 explains the basic principles related to diesel engines. Two engine
The design of the most appropriate propeller for a specific vessel implies, as all Hydrodynamic aspects related with the project, a compromise solution in order to address different needs, many of them conflicting.
Find Ct based on your chosen propeller area. Choose the number of blades. Know Va, D, N. Use chart: Start with Absolute advance coefficient = Va/ (π n = J/π) Follow up diagonal line until you hit the horizontal line that corresponds to your number of blades.
To properly choose a propeller we must first understand some of the basic nomenclature used to describe propeller geometry. Figure 1 is taken from Gilmer and Johnson, Introduction to Naval Architecture.
