Propeller partnership pursues improved propulsion

摘要

A long term partnership between a propeller manufacturer and a leading university is bringing science to bear on the interaction between hull design, propellers and other hull appendages.rnOR Propulsion is now working with Southampton University's Fluid Structure Interactions Research Group (FSIRG) to develop accurate design tools to optimise propeller and sterngear technology for improved performance, fuel efficiency and longevity as well as reduced vibration.
