Angle of attack
In fluid dynamics, angle of attack (AOA, α, or \alpha) is the angle between a reference line on a body (often the chord line of an airfoil) and the vector representing the relative motion between the body and the fluid through which it is moving.
See Propulsor and Angle of attack
Axial compressor
An axial compressor is a gas compressor that can continuously pressurize gases.
See Propulsor and Axial compressor
Axial fan design
An axial fan is a type of fan that causes gas to flow through it in an axial direction, parallel to the shaft about which the blades rotate.
See Propulsor and Axial fan design
Azimuth thruster
An azimuth thruster is a configuration of marine propellers placed in pods that can be rotated to any horizontal angle (azimuth), making a rudder redundant. Propulsor and azimuth thruster are marine propulsion.
See Propulsor and Azimuth thruster
Cavitation
Cavitation in fluid mechanics and engineering normally refers to the phenomenon in which the static pressure of a liquid reduces to below the liquid's vapour pressure, leading to the formation of small vapor-filled cavities in the liquid.
Cyclorotor
A cyclorotor, cycloidal rotor, cycloidal propeller or cyclogiro, is a fluid propulsion device that converts shaft power into the acceleration of a fluid using a rotating axis perpendicular to the direction of fluid motion.
Ducted propeller
A ducted propeller, also known as a Kort nozzle, is a marine propeller fitted with a non-rotating nozzle. Propulsor and ducted propeller are marine propulsion.
See Propulsor and Ducted propeller
Ferry
A ferry is a boat that transports passengers, and occasionally vehicles and cargo, across a body of water.
Helicopter flight controls
Helicopter flight controls are used to achieve and maintain controlled aerodynamic helicopter flight.
See Propulsor and Helicopter flight controls
Hydrofoil
A hydrofoil is a lifting surface, or foil, that operates in water.
L-drive
An L-drive is a type of azimuth thruster where the electric motor is mounted vertically, removing the second bevel gear from the drivetrain. Propulsor and l-drive are marine propulsion.
Magnetohydrodynamic drive
A magnetohydrodynamic drive or MHD accelerator is a method for propelling vehicles using only electric and magnetic fields with no moving parts, accelerating an electrically conductive propellant (liquid or gas) with magnetohydrodynamics. Propulsor and magnetohydrodynamic drive are marine propulsion.
See Propulsor and Magnetohydrodynamic drive
Magnetohydrodynamics
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD; also called magneto-fluid dynamics or hydro­magnetics) is a model of electrically conducting fluids that treats all interpenetrating particle species together as a single continuous medium.
See Propulsor and Magnetohydrodynamics
Marine propulsion
Marine propulsion is the mechanism or system used to generate thrust to move a watercraft through water.
See Propulsor and Marine propulsion
Moving parts
Machines include both fixed and moving parts.
See Propulsor and Moving parts
Propeller
A propeller (colloquially often called a screw if on a ship or an airscrew if on an aircraft) is a device with a rotating hub and radiating blades that are set at a pitch to form a helical spiral which, when rotated, exerts linear thrust upon a working fluid such as water or air.
Pump-jet
A pump-jet, hydrojet, or water jet is a marine system that produces a jet of water for propulsion. Propulsor and pump-jet are marine propulsion.
Rim-driven thruster
The rim-driven thruster, also known as rim-driven propulsor/propeller (or RDP) is a novel type of electric propulsion unit for ships. Propulsor and rim-driven thruster are marine propulsion.
See Propulsor and Rim-driven thruster
Rudder
A rudder is a primary control surface used to steer a ship, boat, submarine, hovercraft, airship, or other vehicle that moves through a fluid medium (usually air or water).
Ship
A ship is a large vessel that travels the world's oceans and other navigable waterways, carrying cargo or passengers, or in support of specialized missions, such as defense, research and fishing.
Standing wave
In physics, a standing wave, also known as a stationary wave, is a wave that oscillates in time but whose peak amplitude profile does not move in space.
See Propulsor and Standing wave
The Hunt for Red October
The Hunt for Red October is the debut novel by American author Tom Clancy, first published on October 1, 1984, by the Naval Institute Press.
See Propulsor and The Hunt for Red October
The Hunt for Red October (film)
The Hunt for Red October is a 1990 American submarine spy thriller film directed by John McTiernan, produced by Mace Neufeld, and starring Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin, Scott Glenn, James Earl Jones, and Sam Neill.
See Propulsor and The Hunt for Red October (film)
Thrust
Thrust is a reaction force described quantitatively by Newton's third law.
Tugboat
A tugboat or tug is a marine vessel that manoeuvres other vessels by pushing or pulling them, with direct contact or a tow line.
Voith Schneider Propeller
The Voith Schneider Propeller (VSP) is a specialized marine propulsion system (MPS) manufactured by the Voith Group based on a cyclorotor design. Propulsor and Voith Schneider Propeller are marine propulsion.
See Propulsor and Voith Schneider Propeller
Z-drive
A Z-drive is a type of marine propulsion unit. Propulsor and z-drive are marine propulsion.
