Stream Section : For general turbomachinery blades where the stream surface is not necessarily a cylinder. Posted September 16, Karsten Wenzke Posted November 29, Check the linked topic.

Guest Mr. Thor Andersen. Posted December 5, Claus Abt 7. Posted December 6, Hi Thor, Based on the propeller setup in the samples, you can very easily generate the geometry, even though some details are missing, like fillets etc. ToDo: 1. The file is attached, have fun Claus impeller. Posted November 13, Enjoy reading! Cheers Joerg. Posted March 17, Check out these propeller-related blog posts: Comparison of blade sections Blade analysis for propeller blades Marine racing propellers surface piercing propeller Clean and smooth blade tip design The blade analysis is a great helper tool for quickly adjusting a propeller design according to some imported blade geometry "from a dead geometry to a smart parametric model in just a few seconds".

I hope you'll like it Posted April 18, Please find attached a screenshot: Here is also a short article about propeller tip modeling. I don't think so. Without knowing what you want to do, maby you could start with this. Figgy , Dec 17, The web site you give is unreachable for me, could you give me a local copy of javaprop? Now the tricky bit is to analyse the propeller, and if you really want to improve on what's there already, optimise it.

Tim B. Tim B , Dec 18, This program is used for airfoils but they are the same as marine propeller blade sections and then you can import them into solidworks which you can create you propeller in by lofting it. It's only a five trail version of the program but there are ways round this by deleting one of the file it creates when you open the program. I will draw your model as attached file. MSU Subscriptions. Request an Update. Wake-Adapted Propeller Performance PropElements provides an optimizing design stage between parametric specification and full 3D design for manufacture.

Proprietary features and calibration for quantitative accuracy.

I attempted one, didn't finish, mainly because I realised I was making a pusher instead of a tractor! I drew it out in solidworks, messy. It seems most of the designs are based on experience more than hard science. Clark Y seems to be a common profile, but those vary widely. If you find one, let me know! Take a look at JavaProp. It doesn't do everything you want, but it's free and can help get you in the ballpark. Hi Mark, Skydawg. Prop design is as much an art as it is a science and it includes no small measure of aesthetics.
