Arguably there is no more important piece of the vessel’s drive train than the propeller. If propeller geometry is out of whack, either from inaccurate design or a strike in the water, the results, if ...

The high-efficiency aerodynamic and aeroacoustic optimization framework comprises the following key modules: 1) Shape parameterization, which transforms the baseline geometry into a set of design ...

DETROIT, November 22, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sharrow Marine, the industry leader in innovative marine propulsion technology, is honored to announce that the Sharrow X10™ propeller was honored as a ...

Minimum induced loss propellers (and windmills) are the rotor analogues of elliptically loaded wings, characterized by minimum kinetic energy loss for a specified disc loading, number of blades, and ...

The open water characteristics for a large systematic series of Controllable Pitch Propellers (CPP) were recently measured at MARIN, including ducted propellers. Around the world people involved in ...

Join us as we put 15 different Lego propellers to the test in this fun and informative video! We explore how each propeller design performs in terms of speed, power, and efficiency, comparing their ...

The simple strip theory is used to develop the equations which are required to determine the optimum design point geometry and performance parameters of propeller type wind turbines. The optimum ...
