Abstract

The design of a ship's propeller is very important as it directly affects the fuel efficiency, speed, and stability of the ship. Commonly, propellers are designed using expensive commercial software. This research aims to design a ship propeller using open-source code based on lifting line theory and using MATLAB application. The ship data used is a container ship with a length of 397 meters and a width of 56 meters. The propeller design results were propeller performance such as design performance, induced velocity, inflow angle, expanded blade, blade thickness, lift coefficient, performance curve, 2-D and 3-D outlines. A qualitative and quantitative comparison was conducted between a real-world manufactured propeller, a redesigned propeller developed using open-source software (OpenProp), and a commercial design tool (PropCAD). The comparison reveals that while the overall geometry and blade shape of all three propellers are similar, consisting of 6 blades with comparable radial profiles, key differences emerge in the expanded area ratio (EAR), skew angle, and surface modeling quality. The OpenProp design features an EAR of 1.0876 and a high skew angle of 39.9°, indicating an emphasis on hydrodynamic efficiency and cavitation mitigation. In contrast, the PropCAD model presents a slightly lower EAR of 1.077 with a more moderate skew angle of 20.5°, offering a balanced compromise between performance and manufacturability. This distinction highlights a potential optimization opportunity and demonstrates the capability of the open-source design approach to approximate real-world propeller characteristics with high fidelity, while also offering flexibility for further refinement. In summary, the findings suggest that the open-source design approach can approximate real-world propeller characteristics with high fidelity and provide flexibility for iterative optimization.

Abstract

This paper investigates the performance of Savonius vertical axis water turbine by varying its stagger angles. In this study, the shape of the turbine blade is modified based on the Myring equation as well as adding a disturbance in the form of a circular cylinder placed in front of the advancing blade as a barrier. The method used in this research is an experimental study in a water tunnel at a velocity of 0.22 m/s. The turbine has size of 0.4 m in height and 0.4 m in diameter. The experiment results show that the use of a circular cylinder in front of the advancing blade has a significant effect on increasing turbine performance. This can be proven by placing a circular cylinder with , , and where the angular speed achieved is , torque coefficient and the result of maximum power coefficient is about 0.4356.
