HydroComp is well known for our "technical outreach",
including publications, product training seminars, and customized presentations.
Presentations can be developed for a broad range of topics and
venues - at your site, at trade shows and conferences, or here at
our offices. A few of our custom presentations have included:
- Introduction to high-speed
vehicles for a propulsion equipment company.
- Guest instructor for a university
"industry design seminar".
- Principles of hydrodynamics
lecture for a service academy.
- Propeller workshop for the sales
staff of a major marine engine builder.
- Discussion of shallow water
effects with designers and operators.
- Propeller design seminar for a
maritime trade organization.
Here are some of our more popular standard
presentations:
- Chronic propeller problems:
tips and tricks - This presentation is about a few typical
inboard propeller problems and potential solutions.
- Shaft angle: the good, the bad,
and the ugly - This presentation discusses shaft angle
and its effect on propeller and hull performance.
- Propeller sizing is not black
magic - This is a presentation of technical principles for
propeller sizing - objectives and decisions, ways to cross check
sizings, and using the physics of propellers as a guide.
- Understanding marine propellers
- This is an introduction to basic propulsion relationships and
the nature of marine propellers.
- Demystifying propeller design
- This presentation lifts the veil of mystery surrounding
propellers and their design by looking at how designers have
developed different propeller characteristics and geometries to
meet evolving performance objectives.
- Squat effects: a practical
guide to its nature, measurement and prediction - This
presentation discusses squat in both physical and hydrodynamic
terms, introduces techniques for the prediction of squat, and
offers a review of contemporary techniques to measure squat on
ships in real-time.
