Abstract

High ship propulsion performance is the main goal of designers, propeller is one component of the propulsion system that also affects the performance of the propulsion. In propeller planning, it is necessary to pay attention to the efficiency of the propeller, in addition to reducing ship operating costs and reducing CO2 gas emissions which is one of the requirements for ships built above 2013, the rules have been made into the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) standard. At this time the propeller that is widely used is the B Series propeller including the propeller design used on mini LNG ships, namely the B6.40 propeller, the B Series propeller has a pitch character from the Wageningen Propeller Series study. Innovations are made to get better propeller efficiency by varying the pitch distribution. The B6.40 propeller of the standard constant pitch type was modified to B6.40 variable pitch (high thrust). Propellers with high thrust have better efficiency especially for non-fast boats. This study was conducted to obtain the best propeller efficiency of a constant pitch propeller and three high thrust propeller units using Numeca's Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) numerical self-propulsion test. For validation of the simulation program by comparing the results of the open water test B6.40 Wageningen while resistance validation by comparing the ship resistance model test. The results of the self-propulsion test using Disc Actuator show that the propulsion coefficient (PC) of Modified-2 and Modified-3 high thrust propellers is better when compared to constant pitch. The magnitude of the increase in PC value reaches ± 4% higher than the constant pitch type on the Modified-3 propeller.

Abstract

This paper discusses the effect of pitch distribution on the propeller of a high-speed vessel (Offshore Patrol Vessel) on propeller efficiency and cavitation on the propeller blade surface. A propeller model design with five blades featuring symmetric blade contours and ogival-shaped foil, tested through open water tests in a towing tank, is used as the research object. Three variations of pitch distribution based on PropCAD recommendations: original pitch, 80% hub pitch distribution, and high-thrust pitch distribution, are used as parameters to calculate propeller efficiency using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The cavitation phenomena occurring on the propeller blades under each pitch distribution condition are analysed using the Burrill method (Burrill Diagram). Based on CFD analysis, it was found that the propeller with the highest propeller efficiency, η, is obtained from the high-thrust pitch distribution (0.6072), compared to the original pitch distribution (0.5902) and the 80% hub pitch distribution (0.5651). Cavitation occurs in all three pitch variations because the thrust loading coefficient values (τc) for the original pitch distribution (0.1286), 80% hub pitch distribution (0.1183), and high-thrust pitch distribution (0.1293) are higher than the cavitation threshold from the Burrill diagram (τ'c = 0.0783).
