Resistance and Propulsion

Undergraduate

examines ship resistance and some factors considered in the design of marine screw propellers. Topics include the resistance due to friction, wave making, form appendage, wind and waves, squat, blockage, shallow water effects, and the estimation of powering using methodical series and statistical methods. Topics considered in the design of marine screw propellers include propeller theory, blade sections, blade strength, methodical series charts, efficiency elements, lifting line calculations, cavitation, and propellers in non-uniform flow.
