A Tool to Predict the Four-Quadrant Performance of the Wageningen B-Screw Series for Ship Performance Simulations

摘要

Feedforward neural network predictions of the four-quadrant thrust and torque behavior for the Wageningen B-Screw Series of propellers have been developed. The resulting prediction tool can be used to provide reasonable four-quadrant thrust and torque predictions for propellers, interpolating automatically between measured data.
