Marine
Propeller hydrodynamics, hull resistance and onboard systems.
What we work on
- Propeller hydrodynamic design and performance analysis
- Cavitation inception and development
- Hull resistance and wake field
- Onboard piping and cooling circuits
- Flow and thermal problems on underwater vehicles
Typical problems
Propeller hydrodynamic design and performance analysis; tracking cavitation inception across the operating range; assessing hull-propeller interaction through the wake field.
Technical notes for this field
- Why scale effect is a separate job in ship hydrodynamics
- Propeller and rotor noise: two different sources
- Pump cavitation: why an NPSH margin of 1.1 is not enough
- Sloshing: why is a half-full tank harder than a full one?
- Multiphase flow: which approach?
