Fixed pitch propeller for ships
(custom-made) ROLLA
Propellers are designed with a computer panel code method allowing the entire 3-D study and optimization of the geometry. To properly interface the propeller with its intended application the hull lines of any design of particular importance can be preliminarily analyzed to predict resistance, trim and wake field at the prpeller disc. Once the velocity field on the propeller has been computed, it is used as "inflow" for the design of the propeller with the panel method and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) analysis.
