Ship Propultion
VICUSdt oƯers specialized consulting services in ship propulsion engineering, combining advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations with extensive naval architecture expertise. Their services aim to enhance vessel performance, reduce fuel consumption, and minimize environmental impact.
In addition to simulation and analysis, VICUSdt provides a comprehensive service covering the full lifecycle of propeller development. This includes the design, manufacturing coordination, and installation supervision of custom-made, performance-optimized propellers.
Propeller, Rudder and Nozzle Design
Utilizing CFD, VICUSdt designs wake-adapted propellers & rudders and optimizes nozzle geometries tailored to specific vessel requirements. This customization enhances propulsion efficiency, reduces fuel consumption, and mitigates issues like noise and vibration.
These solutions are tailored for demanding applications such as oceanographic and research vessels operating in harsh environments, including ice-class conditions. The propellers are engineered to ensure optimal thrust, low vibration, and compliance with underwater noise regulations, even under severe operational stress.
Cavitation Analysis and Mitigation
Through CFD simulations, VICUSdt identifies potential cavitation issues early in the design process. They provide solutions to prevent cavitation-induced erosion, noise, and vibrations, ensuring the longevity and efficiency of propulsion systems.
