MASTER’S THESIS (Sep 2009 – present)

Title: Numerical Modeling of a Marine Propeller Undergoing Unsteady Motion

Advisor: Professor Spyros A. Kinnas, Ocean Engineering Group, Department of Civil Engineering, UT

Austin.

Description: Modeling a marine propeller undergoing 6 Degrees of Freedom motion using numerical

techniques, Viz. Boundary Element Method and RANS. The ongoing research will help us to improve the

hydrodynamic performance of a marine propeller under severe most ship maneuvering. The proposed

model will be used as a decision making tool for assessing efficiency of propellers
