Descripción
Sumario:Object and purpose of research. This paper describes multi-mode adaptive-pitch propeller and its hydrodynamics. Based on the calculation data, the study demonstrates that this kind of propeller might be quite promising in terms of propulsion performance for the ships with variable running conditions, like patrol vessels that switch between patrol and chase running mode. More-over, multi-mode adaptive pitch propellers may work as two-positional CPPs commonly regarded as general-use propellers. These results might be useful in design of ships for various applications. Subject matter and methods. Experimental data on hydrodynamic parameters of multi-mode adaptive pitch propeller and design calculation results for a virtual triple-shaft patrol vessel. Main results. The results of this study could be useful in propeller selection for given ship design. Conclusion. It is shown that, as compared to FPPs, multi-mode adaptive pitch propellers are more efficient in terms of pro-pulsion performance.
