Big data analytics support smart propeller design methods
MMG Optimising ship operation is more important than ever in today’s over-tonnaged markets. Propeller specialist MMG has developed a data analysing tool that can directly compare the CFD outcomes with full-scale data to ensure that real-life experience corresponds with new design criteria. Actual physical data can then be used to evaluate certain operating profiles such as different trim criteria or hull conditions.
