While I am certain that the other posts were written with the best of intentions, they could be a bit confusing. Let me see if I can provide a...
You really need to address the objective purpose for the IE (half-entrance angle) in order to develop a way to quantify it. As you can see from...
I was asked in another venue to describe what we do in Propeller School, so I thought I would post that reply here. For a quick snapshot,...
An interactive seminar the day before FLIBS for those interested in the topic: Propeller School | Prior to Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show...
I am sure that I will regret getting involved, but hopefully I can shed some light on the subject. The orthodoxy that people hold onto is really a...

Join us in New Orleans before the Workboat Show for a 1-day PropExpert “Best Practices” Training Course. Check out the video at:...

Is there any chance it is nothing more than a standing platform for some sort of work that needs to be done over the stern?
Hate to deflate the OP, but this is old news. Sander Calisal wrote a JSR paper in 2002 about much the same:...
It seems that the Wide Light project is being presented at this year's CSYS. See Chris Barry's post:...
Mikko: I was only looking at the CB-1 (canoe body only) case to isolate the hull from any other influences. This gives me a sense for how the...
My impressions about the heave data were from Figure 22 of the published report. It is the relative heave from static (zero speed) that is...
Regarding indication of planing, in my "inference" that a hull is planing (as "definition" is too rigorous a term) the vessel first must pass the...
Well, when the hull form very closely matches the parameters of the series it should not be surprising that the predictions are close. It is when...
Uli: I wonder if the correction to 15C also considered the small change in density and draft (sinkage), or was the correction solely viscous?...
Uli: Does this mean that the Miles Cornwell statement about test conditions being FW at 20C is incorrect? Don MacPherson
This thread reminds me of the Star Trek episode with the white-black bi-colored race that hates their mirror-image black-white brethren. Power and...
An interesting alternative to half entrance angle for seakeeping analysis is the "vertical prismatic coefficient" - particularly the CVP for the...
David: Thanks for the endorsement, but like anything, you do something long enough and things begin to take shape. I've always found...
