Although the propeller lies submerged out of sight, it is a complex component in both the hydrodynamic and structural sense.
This book fulfils the need for a comprehensive and cutting edge volume that brings together a great range of knowledge on propulsion technology, a multi-disciplinary and international subject.
The book comprises three main sections covering hydrodynamics; materials and mechanical considerations; and design, operation and performance.
The discussion relates theory to practical problems of design, analysis and operational economy, and is supported by extensive design information, operational detail and tabulated data.
Fully updated and revised to cover the latest advances in the field, the new edition now also includes four new chapters on azimuthing and podded propulsors, propeller-rudder interaction, high-speed propellers, and propeller-ice interaction.
