Nozzles are applied to increase thrust at low ship speed. Typical examples of low speed operation are: Bollard pull Dynamic positioning Fishing Heavy lift vessels

Application of nozzles Basic principle of nozzle:section acts similar as wing section o Pressure distribution around nozzle changes due to propeller action Additional thrust ++++++++++ O ©Wartsila WARTSILA

Basic principle of nozzle: section acts similar as wing section
Pressure distribution around nozzle changes due to propeller action Additional thrust

Performance prediction of nozzles In general,open propeller performance is based on model scale experiments. o Full scale performance is based on measured data in combination with scaling methods(ITTC'78) Scaling of ducted propellers(=propeller nozzle configuration)not well understood New nozzle designs,like Lips HR-nozzle,do not behave like old 19A nozzles.

Advanced numerical method (CFD) is applied to predict full scale performance of propeller with HR-nozzle

Performance prediction of thrusters Conventional thruster performance is based on model scale measurements. ● Scaling of thruster performance is more complex than ducted propeller,due to strut and thruster house o Full scale performance of thruster unit can be based directly on state-of-the-art numerical calculations. ©Vartsila WARTSILA
