The procedures of model test and performance prediction for the CRP-POD propulsion ships are studied. At the CRP-POD system, which are highly applicable to ultra large container carriers, RPM ratio of the two propellers is not fixed in contrast with conventional CRP systems, and therefore the performance of each propeller must be evaluated respectively. In this paper, a CRP-POD system is designed for a 10,000 TEU class container carrier, and the characteristics of the CRP-POD system are experimentally studied. Finally, based on this study, the procedure of powering performance evaluation for CRP-POD propulsion ships is suggested. However, further studies on quantitative correction of the present procedure are required. |
