  1. 1. Propulsion modelling of a generic submarine propeller

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Gustav Boman; [2023]
    Keywords : OpenFOAM; CFD; actuator line model; rotor disk; actuator disk; INSEAN E1619; propeller;

    Abstract : Self propulsion modelling is important in order to accurately simulate ships and submarinesusing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). However, fully resolved simulations of hull andpropeller geometries are computationally heavy and time consuming. As such there is a greatinterest in lower order CFD models of propellers. READ MORE

  3. 2. Development of a Low Noise Drone Propeller Using CFD Simulations

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Axel Schulz; [2023]
    Keywords : Drone Propeller Low Noise Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Noise pollution generated by drones has in recent years become a concern for humans and wildlife and has in some regions resulted in regulatory backlash. This thesis investigates the possibilities of developing a low noise drone propeller using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. READ MORE

  4. 3. Hydroacoustic Modelling of Podded Propulsion System : Underwater Radiated Noise Prediction Using ANSYS

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Martin Persson; [2022]
    Keywords : Fluid Mechanics; Computational Aeroacoustics; Frequency Response; Noise and Vibration; Pod; Propulsion System; ANSYS; Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes Equations; Kongsberg Maritime Sweden AB;

    Abstract : Ocean noise pollution is an invisible but growing threat. There are many sources of sound in the ocean but human underwater radiated noise, in particular from shipping is one of the most prominent one. Ocean noise pollution can interfere or sometimes even directly harm marine life. READ MORE

  5. 4. Electric Propulsion for a High Altitude Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Jacob Hjort Friderichsen; David Jönsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Electric Propulsion; UAV; ALPHA; Electronic Speed Controller; BLDC Motor; Propeller;

    Abstract : The catalogue of observational platforms for space and atmospheric research can be expanded by utilising drones equipped with specialised instrumentation and capable of flying at high altitudes. In this project the requirements for an electric propulsion system applicable to the KTH Royal Institute of Technology ALPHA project are evaluated. READ MORE

  6. 5. Development and study of noise generation from propellers

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Anton Anton Dunström; Fredrik Skjernov; [2022]
    Keywords : Silent propellers; Propeller development; Noise generation; Skew angle; Blade Area Ratio; Openprop; NATO STANAG no. 1136; Swedish defense and Research Agency FOI ; James Fisher Defense.; Tysta propellrar; Propellerutveckling; Ljudskapande; Skevningsvinkel; Bladtäckningsarea; Openprop; NATO STANAG no. 1136; FOI; James Fisher Defense.;

    Abstract : Noise generation from underwater activities propagates into the marine environment.For marine vessels the propulsion system generates the most noise during itsoperations. Naval vessels that want to operate without being detected want to controlthe sound generating properties of the vessel. READ MORE
