This webinar is intended to be a “practical primer” about propeller-generated noise and vibration – the not-so-hidden consequence of the useful forces that push and maneuver a boat. Propellers are just one player in the three-part harmony that make up the “hydroacoustic” system of Formation-Transmission-Response. Join HydroComp’s Jonas Armstrong for an introduction into how propellers generate noise and vibration, the mechanisms of noise transmission and response, and some suggestions for mitigation. Webinar date: December 8, 2023
