This paper concerns an algorithmic method for preliminary selection of parameters of ship propulsion system fitted with fixed screw propeller in the case when the ship’s operation is associated with significant changes of waterway depth and width, hull resistance of the ship and its service speed. Mathematical model arguments of the considered design problem are main ship design parameters identified in the preliminary design stage. Structure of the formulated model complies with formal requirements for continuous- discrete mathematical optimization problems. The presented examples of application of the method concern an inland waterways ship fitted with compromise screw propeller optimized in the sense of minimization of fuel consumption for passing a given route distance within a given time. The elaborated method may be especially useful in designing such ships as : coasters, inland waterways ships, tugs, pushers, trawlers, mine sweepers, icebreakers etc.
This paper presents a proposal of a parametric method for predicting the characteristics of wake fraction, w(x) and thrust deduction, t( ) x , of ship hull of the draught close to waterway depth. The method makes it possible to take into account an influence of low waterway depth in preliminary selecting propulsion system parameters of ships intended for operating in shallow waters, e.g. of inland waterways ships. The mathematical model of the problem was determined with taking into account the aspect of coding easiness of calculation algorithm to be applied to computer software useful in computer aided design. Application of the method was demonstrated with the use of the example characteristics of the passenger ship intended for operating in shallow waters on Berlin-Kaliningrad route, whose design was elaborated in the frame of the EU Eureka INCOWATRANS E!3065 project.
