    Hi everybody.....

    I am working on the hydrodynamics of the tugboat using the Voith Schneider propeller. Can anyone please help me with the question below?

    "For a Voith Schneider control, the X-pitch changes the ship's Fwd and Aft speeds, while the Y-pitch changes the amount of Port and Starboard turnings. So how are the X-pitch and Y-pitch calculated?"

    Coolblizz :confused: :?:

    Hi Coolblizz & fellow members,

    Voith Schneider Propeller have a couple of new invention; to enhance improve steering force on a Voith Water Tractor, a new design on the skeg is introduced, called Turbo Fin. And also a two bladed propeller on a VSP unit now know as Voith Cyclodial Rudder (VCR); use as passive mode, a rudder, as active mode, a propulsion system.

    Regards, from R1623:cool:
