Title: ACHIEVING OPTIMUM PROPELLERS FOR FERRIES AND CRUISE LINERS
Abstract: Several design criteria must be taken into account when designing a propeller for a ferry or cruise liner. Of those, low level consumption (high propeller efficiency) and favourable vibration characteristics (low propeller excitation forces) are the most important. The author discusses propeller performance in design condition (high speed) and in off-design conditions (manoeuvring).
