abstract

this paper presents numerical calculations for podded propulsion system using vortex theory and potential panel method. the method discretizes the surface boundary of the body (propeller +pod+strut) and obtained the vortex and propeller surface and potential on strut and pod. a model propeller and strut are considered for these calculations and the results of pressure distribution, flow field around the propeller and hydrodynamic characteristics of the propeller are given. the calculated hydrodynamic characteristics of the propeller are compared with the experimental data and it is shown in good agreement with them.

Modeling of Ship Propulsion Performance

Full scale measurements of the propulsion power, ship speed, wind speed and direction, sea and air temperature, from four different loading conditions has been used to train a neural network for prediction of propulsion power. The network was able to predict the propulsion power with accuracy between 0.8-2.8%, which is about the same accuracy as for the measurements. The methods developed are i...

A Review on the Drag Reduction Methods of the Ship Hulls for Improving the Hydrodynamic Performance

Hydrodynamic performance of a marine vessel mainly depends on the frictional and pressure resistance. Pressure drag reduction could be achieved by improving the shape of the vessels with implementation of modern hull forms. Hull forms optimization techniques could also be used for this purpose. Other techniques are needed to deal with the viscous portion of the total resistance, which is mainly...

Model identification and dynamic analysis of ship propulsion shaft lines

Dynamic response analysis of mechanical structures is usually performed by adopting numerical/analytical models. Finite element (FE) modeling as a numerical approach plays an important role in dynamic response analysis of complex structures. The calculated dynamic responses from FE analysis are only reliable if accurate FE models are used. There are many elements in real mechanical structures w...

Sensor fault masking of a ship propulsion system

This paper presents the results of a study on fault-tolerant control of a ship propulsion benchmark [Izadi-Zamanabadi, R., & Blanke, M. (1999). A ship propulsion system as a benchmark for fault tolerant control. Control Engineering Practice, 7 (2), 227–239] which uses estimated or virtual measurements as feedback variables. The estimator operates on a self-adjustable design model so that its ou...

Simulation of a Ship Propulsion System with Dtc Driving Scheme

In this paper an effort is made to represent the behaviour of a ship propulsion system comprising a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) driven by a 6-pulse driving system using the Direct Torque Control (DTC) control technique. The DTC technique cited is emulated via MATLAB's Simulink toolbox while all study cases are performed successfully in MATLAB's Power System Blockset environment.

Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Weis–Fogh Type Ship-s Propulsion Mechanism Having Elastic Wing

This experiment was conducted in attempt of improving hydrodynamic efficiency of the propulsion mechanism by installing a spring to the wing so that the opening angle of the wing in one stroke can be changed automatically, compared to the existing method of fixed maximum opening angle in Weis-Fogh type ship propulsion mechanism. Average thrust coefficient was almost fixed with all velocity rati...
