Propeller Strength Calculation
Propeller strength calculation service verifying that a propeller design is safe against blade damage or fracture, based on ship particulars and propeller data.
Description
Fountom's Propeller Strength Calculation service verifies a propeller design after the design stage to guard against blade damage or fracture. The calculation considers all relevant propeller parameters and gives a clear pass/fail result.
Input data required (typical)
- Ship particulars: LOA, LBP, breadth, depth, draft, ship type, class, block coefficient
- Propeller type, material, number of propellers and blades
- Wake fraction and thrust deduction
- Brake power, shaft efficiency and propeller rpm
- Propeller immersion and cavitation type
