On the propulsion tests with METEOR
Proceedings 2nd INTERACTION Berlin '91
Nota bene
The following material is about thirty years old, and
thus essentially of archival nature. My most recent work
on ship powering and trials and monitoring, together with
explanatory for any 'taste', is to be found in the first
three sections of the 'News flash'.
All details are documented in the complete worksheets of the
sixth revision of my evaluation of the 'model' trial of 1986,
readily accessed in the second section of the
- News flash.

The METEOR Report
- Title,
- Invitation,
- Program,
- Participants,
- METEOR report,
- Report Fig 20-26,
- Basic program,
- Oral discussions,
- Written discussions.
The various outputs of the Basic program, the figures
and other details not yet available on the website
due to special conversions necessary
will be mailed on request.
As has been stated on various occasions the dual traces
of distances sailed in figure 26 of the report are due
to the lack of synchronism of the on-board and the VWS
data aquisition systems,
- details being explained
on request of Dr. Klaus Wagner.
In addition it is noted here, that the on-board system
provided updates every two seconds, and sometimes
these were picked up slightly short of six seconds.

While the 2nd INTERACTION, the '2nd International Workshop
on the Rational Theory of Ship Hull-Propeller Interaction
and its Applications' was devoted to rather traditional
hull-propeller configurations
- The 3rd INTERACTION envisaged
to be held in 1995 was intended to be devoted to the design
and evaluation of ducted and hull integrated propulsors.
See also the following papers on the quasi-steady propulsion tests
with SES CORSAIR/MEKAT.
After the symposium at Trondheim the author feels
that the community is still far from discussing and applying
the proposed rational approaches promissing dramatic technological
and commercial advantages.
