PARAMETRIC ANALYSIS AND SIMULATION OF A TUGBOAT PROPELLER BLADE
ABSTRACT The parametric analysis of a tugboat propeller blade was carried out with solidworks computer aided simulation software. The aim is to achieve vibration and noise mitigation as well as performance improvement of the propulsion system by varying the number of propeller blade to ascertain minimum allowable pressure on the propulsion system. To determine the magnitude of stiffness assumed in the dynamic part of the propulsion system, modeling the propulsion ...
