Our “Work-From-Home” series is an insightful array of key concepts in hydrodynamics and propeller selection, analysis and design. Listen and watch case studies and techniques to build your confidence and expertise.

As we analyze or design a vessel, we use NavCad for hydrodynamic and propulsion system simulation. The Vessel-Propulsor-Drive system model is built upon predictions for the various component pieces…

Join us for this 30-minute webinar that will introduce differences between ICE and EM power curves, as well as discuss the implications of EM power curve shapes for different operating modes…

Join us for this 30-minute webinar which will introduce how DC motors impact vessel performance and propeller selection, with comparisons to internal combustion engines. We will discuss the implicatio…

3D CAD models are the standard for communicating propeller design data. These are used in various forms for visualization, performance simulation, and manufacturing/machining operations. In this half-…

Nozzles can be an incredibly valuable partner for a propeller. When used appropriately, these non-moving devices can supplement a propeller’s thrust for some applications – but not all. How can a non-…

We all know about planing hull drag prediction and typical hull form parameters – such as deadrise, LCG, chine beam. But what about the longitudinal and transverse variation in deadrise? Or how catamarans…

We all know that rudders are a vital piece of our vessel’s operational equipment. But what determines the best type of rudder to use? How do we ensure that the rudder and propeller function well together…

As we analyze or design a vessel, we use NavCad for hydrodynamic and propulsion system simulation. The Vessel-Propulsor-Drive system model is built upon predictions for the various component pieces…

Propeller hydrodynamics can be complicated and messy, and sometimes the combination of propeller, vessel shape, gearbox, and engine are less than perfect. Age or lack of maintenance can also compromis…
