Experimental Validation of a Marine Propeller Thrust Estimation Scheme∗

چکیده
A thrust estimation scheme for a marine propeller has been experimentally tested in waves and with a device that simulates the influence of a vessel hull. The scheme is formed by a nonlinear propeller torque observer and a mapping to generate the thrust from the observed torque. The mapping includes the estimation of the advance number. This is utilized to improve the performance when the propeller is lightly loaded. The advance speed is assumed to be unknown, and only measurements of shaft speed and motor torque have been used. Accurate results have been obtained in experimental tests.

This paper proposes a thrust estimation scheme for marine propellers in four-quadrant operations. To calculate the thrust and torque coefficients of screw propeller in four-quadrant, a Chebyshev fit expression of the propeller properties in four-quadrant for surface vessel is given, and then it is changed into an ordinary polynomial expression. These expressions are suitable for calculating the...

Speed and position control systems for marine vehicles have been subject to an increased focus with respect to performance and safety. An example is represented by drilling operations performed with semi submersible rigs where the control of position and heading requires high accuracy. Drifting from the well position could cause severe damage to equipment and environment. Also, the use of under...

Propeller is one of the main propulsors for marine vehicles which produces thrust to overcome the resistance of the ship. Propeller works in the place behind the ship where the flow is non-uniform and with three dimensional velocities, so it causes the fluctuating thrust. The first part of this paper employs the boundary element method (BEM) to evaluate and analyze the hydrodynamic performance ...

This paper proposes a nonlinear dynamics model for a marine propeller able to reproduce the propeller thrust over the full four-quadrant range of propeller shaft speed and vessel speed. A two-state model has been identi ed from experimental data. The model includes a state equation for the propeller shaft speed and one that describes the dynamics of the axial ow velocity.
