Abstract
Abstract This article describes what kind of information is needed prior to starting the design of a ship propeller. This concerns data to be provided by the customer, as well as data following from regulating bodies like ISO and classification societies. Manufacturing aspects and mechanical properties of specific propulsion equipment that have an influence on propeller design are reviewed. The importance of involving a propeller design expert in the early stages of the ship design is explained. The selection of the propeller design point(s) in relation to the mission profile of the ship and the matching of fixed pitch propellers with the prime mover are discussed. Finally, a general description of the design process of fixed pitch and controllable pitch propellers is provided.
