  2. Advance ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_ratio

    When the vehicle is moving at low speed or the propeller is rotating at high speed, the advance ratio is a low number. The advance ratio is a useful non-dimensional quantity in helicopter and propeller theory, since propellers and rotors will experience the same angle of attack on every blade airfoil section at the same advance ratio regardless ...

  3. Voith Schneider Propeller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voith_Schneider_Propeller

    The Voith Schneider propeller was originally a design for a hydro-electric turbine. [2] Its Austrian inventor, Ernst Schneider, had a chance meeting on a train with a manager at Voith's subsidiary St. Pölten works; this led to the turbine being investigated by Voith's engineers, who discovered that although it was no more efficient than other water turbines, Schneider's design worked well as ...

  4. Ship motion test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_motion_test

    The dynamometer measures the thrust and torque of the propeller. The propeller shaft extends a sufficient length forward from the boat to ensure that the flow around the propeller is not disturbed by the boat. The test is conducted by towing the open water boat at a steady speed while running the propeller at a constant revolution rate.

  5. Marine propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_propulsion

    Many modern four-stroke medium speed diesel engines have a maximum operating speed of around 500 rpm. High speed: any engine with a maximum operating speed above 1000 rpm. 4-Stroke Marine Diesel Engine System. Most modern larger merchant ships use either slow speed, two stroke, crosshead engines, or medium speed, four stroke, trunk engines.

  6. Kelvin wake pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_wake_pattern

    Parts of the pattern may be obscured by the effects of propeller wash, and tail eddies behind the boat's stern, and by the boat being a large object and not a point source. The water need not be stationary, but may be moving as in a large river, and the important consideration then is the velocity of the water relative to a boat or other object ...

  7. Propeller theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller_theory

    A propeller imparts momentum to a fluid which causes a force to act on the ship. [1] The ideal efficiency of any propulsor is that of an actuator disc in an ideal fluid. This is called the Froude efficiency and is a natural limit which cannot be exceeded by any device, no matter how good it is.

  8. Outboard motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outboard_motor

    The pivoting design allows the outboard motor to be swiveled by the operator in almost all directions: Sideways for direction, up and down to change the thrust line according to speed or bow lift, elevate completely out of water for easy starting, placing the drive shaft and the propeller forward along the side of the boat for reverse, or put ...

  9. Propeller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller

    Understanding of low-speed propeller aerodynamics was complete by the 1920s, although increased power and smaller diameters added design constraints. [29] Alberto Santos Dumont, another early pioneer, applied the knowledge he gained from experiences with airships to make a propeller with a steel shaft and aluminium blades for his 14 bis biplane ...
