Items related to Marine Propellors and Propulsion
Synopsis
Propulsion technology is a complex, multi-disciplinary and international subject on which a great deal of new work, both theoretical and empirical, has been reported over the past 30 years. This book is a state-of-the-art review that brings together and sets in context a great range of technical material on ships' propellers. The book comprises three main sections covering hydrodynamics; materials and mechanical considerations, and design, operation and performance. The discussion throughout relates theory to practical problems of design, analysis and operational economy. It is supported by reference to source documents and by copious design information, operational detail and tabulated data.

Review
"The third edition of this text/reference for marine engineers, naval architects, and students studying propulsion and hydrodynamics is updated to cover the latest theory, best practices, legislation, and industry standards since 2007. There is new material on the physics of cavitation development and collapse, erosive effects on propeller materials, and the effects of shipping activity on the behavior of marine mammals." --Reference and Research Book News, December 2013
From the Back Cover
Although the propeller lies submerged out of sight, it is a complex component in both the hydrodynamic and structural sense. Marine Propellers and Propulsion 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.
The most comprehensive book available on marine propellers, fully updated and revised, with four new chapters on azimuthing and podded propulsors, propeller-rudder interaction, high-speed propellers, and propeller-ice interaction
A valuable reference for marine engineers and naval architects gathering together the subject of propulsion technology, in both theory and practice, over the last forty years
Written by a leading expert on propulsion technology, essential for students of propulsion and hydrodynamics, complete with online worked examples
John Carlton is uniquely qualified to write this book, in which his wide experience design, research, technical investigation and consultancy is put to the service of marine engineers, naval architects and anyone involved with propeller technology.|Although the propeller lies submerged out of sight, it is a complex component in both the hydrodynamic and structural sense.
