A simplified method for calculating propeller thrust decrease for a ship sailing on a given shipping lane

Abstract

During ship sailing on rough water, relative ship motions can be observed which make the propeller emerge from the water, and decrease its thrust as a consequence. The article presents a simplified method for calculating the thrust decrease and the time of propeller emergence from water for the ship on a regular an irregular wave. The method can be used for predicting the operating speed  of the ship on a given shipping lane.

Keywords:

ship motions on rough water, propeller emergence, thrust decrease
