Model Overview
ShipPropeller class
Object orientated model which enables user to load the parameters of propellers, store them in a propeller object, and simulate the performance of that propeller.
Purpose
Primary: Propeller simulations
Secondary: Shaft torque and rpm requirements
Technical Scope
- System Behaviour / Function
- Propeller performance. open water efficiency, torque coefficient, thrust coefficient, optimal pitch ratio, optimal rpm
- Model Inputs
- propeller parameters: diameter, number of blades, area ratio, pitch ratio, name, propeller type (fixed or cpp), water height, custom performance parameters (advance ratio, thrust coefficient, torque coefficient), shaft rpm
- Model Outputs
- fixed pitch: open water efficiency, required power.variable pitch: optimal pitch, optimal rpm, required power.
