Download or read book The Voith Schneider Propeller as a Model Ship Propulsion System written by Kurt Benz and published by Verlag für Technik und Handwerk. This book was released on with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What even the most attentive observer of model ship events or championships might not have noticed so far is the fact that almost no model ships equipped with Voith model propellers are to be seen. This does not only apply to our nation, the actual manufacturing country of this propulsion system, but also in model building circles of other countries nothing positive is to be reported in this respect. In general, it seems to the author, the existence of this drive is hushed up in modeling circles. The reason is most likely the lack of know how. This is in no way intended to cast doubt on the technical qualities of the model builders, but rather to express the fact that there is still no useful documentation on model Voith-Schneider propellers. A circumstance which is to change with the construction description found in this book. At this point, the author would also like to dispel the widespread opinion that the Voith-Schneider propeller is a "miracle" or even a "witch's work" and can only be understood or produced by model builders with above-average technical skills. With regard to production, it must be said that it can be made by any reasonably technically skilled model builder.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the state of the art of reduced order methods for modelling and computational reduction of complex parametrised systems, governed by ordinary and/or partial differential equations, with a special emphasis on real time computing techniques and applications in various fields. Consisting of four contributions presented at the CIME summer school, the book presents several points of view and techniques to solve demanding problems of increasing complexity. The focus is on theoretical investigation and applicative algorithm development for reduction in the complexity – the dimension, the degrees of freedom, the data – arising in these models. The book is addressed to graduate students, young researchers and people interested in the field. It is a good companion for graduate/doctoral classes.

Download or read book Hydrodynamic Propulsion and Its Optimization written by J.A. Sparenberg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HYDRODYNAMIC PROPULSION AND ITS OPTIMIZATION ANALYTIC THEORY Hydrodynamic propulsion has been of major interest ever since craft took to the water. In the course of time, many attempts have been made to invent, develop, or to improve hydrodynamic propulsion devices. Remarkable achievements in this field were made essentially by experienced individuals, who were in need of reliable propulsion units such as paddle wheels, sculling devices, screw propellers, and of course, sails. The problem of minimizing the amount of input energy for a prescribed effective output was first investigated seriously at the beginning of this century. In 1919, BETZ presented a paper on air-screw propellers with minimum consumption of energy which could be applied to ship-screw propellers also. Next, attempts were made to optimize hydrodynamic propulsion units. Ensuing investigations concerned the optimization of the hydrodynamic system: ship-propeller. The first simple theory of ship propulsion which was presented considered more or less only thrust augmentation, wake processing and modification of propeller characteristics when operating behind the ships hull. This theory has been little improved meanwhile and is still useful, particularly with regard to practical ship design and for evaluating results of ship model tests. However, this theory is not adequate for optimization procedures necessary for high-technology propulsion, particularly for ship propellers utilizing propulsion improving devices such as tip end plates or tip fins at the propeller blades, spoilers in front of the propeller, asymmetrical stern etc.

Download or read book Principles Of Marine Vessel Design Concepts And Design Fundamentals Of Sea Going Vessels written by Prasanta Kumar Sahoo and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2021-02-23 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim and scope of this book primarily deals with conceptual design of sea-going marine vessels. While there are a few books on similar topics available to the reader, this book takes a different approach to address the developments of many different types of vessels. Of significant interest would be the estimation of principal parameters of such as vessels and the various coefficients required for design purposes. These parameters are obviously not readily available without carrying out an extensive search and background study. Hopefully, this textbook may be of relevance to designers and career naval architects who need a reference to initiate the design process.
