Virtual Marine Arsenal

FreSCo+ is a Free Surface RANS code for maritime applications such as; wave resistance predictions, ship wake predictions, ship dynamic behavior in waves, maneuvering predictions, and propeller flows incl. cavitation.

OpenProp is software for the design and analysis of marine propellers and horizontal-axis turbines. This software is coded as a suite of MatLab m-files so it does require Matlab. OpenProp can be run using a simple graphical user interface, via the Matlab command line, or with a user-created script.

Propeller Panel Program; PPB is designed to predict the performance of the propeller behind the ship and to resolve, how the working propeller is registered by the hull. Cavitation is predicted 3D unsteady and transient flows are solved in the frequency domain.

PropCad is software for the geometric modeling of marine propellers. It provides tools for the automatic preparation of 2D design drawings, 3D views, construction data, calculation of geometric properties, and CAD/CAM file export.

The Propeller Design Program computes propeller performance, using various design and off-design methods, from standard Gawn and Wageningen B-series propeller charts or propeller data input by the user.

PropExpert is a propeller selection tool for the sizing and analysis of propellers for work boats and pleasure craft. It provides the tools needed for the proper selection of propulsion system components; engine, gear.

Propol is a Fortran/77 program that calculates the open water characteristics of a fixed-pitch full-scale propeller for each RPM the coefficients of a third degree polynomial, expressed in the speed ratio J.

QCM is tailored to predict the cavitation induced pressure fluctuations.  It is an inviscid approach which is modeling all relevant flow features via a complex vortex system.
