Design of fin-propeller test set-up and analysis of roll stabilization ability

Abstract

Presents the fin — propeller test set — up to solve the problem of roll stabilization with ships in full speed range, with which, tests were run in water rank for acquisition of data, and concludes from data acquired that the fin — propeller test set — up produces more lift than simple fin, and provides lateral thrust as well, and it is therefore an effective roll stabilization device for ships in full speed range.

Keywords

fin — propeller test set — up / stabilization of ship roll / full speed range / test
