Design Of An Ice-Class Propeller For The Mv Yahtse, An Icebreaking, Car And Cargo, Roro Ferry, Mara Kramer
Senior Honors Theses
During early-stage ship design, a propulsion system must be matched with data from a resistance and propulsion analysis to determine the propulsion power required for the vessel to run at its design speed. Typically, this process is completed within NavCAD; however, NavCAD does not have a method to calculate icebreaking resistance or design a propeller to meet the ice-class criteria stipulated by the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS). This paper displays and discusses Python scripts written to complete the resistance and propulsion analysis, propeller optimization, and propeller structural design meeting IACS criteria for an icebreaking, RoRo car and cargo …
