Fixed-pitch Marine Propeller Geometry Design

Abstract

This study discussed the preliminary design of marine propeller through defining its geometries. Basic propeller geometries are being described initially with parameters such as rake angle, skew angle and pitch to diameter ratio. Changes of geometries were implemented on chords profile for the Wageningen-B or Troost series of marine propeller. The CAD tool was successfully utilized to develop the marine propellers profiles for a whole range of possible parameters in the Troost series propeller.
