Propeller is the main energy-producing device for any marine vehicle. To make waterway
communication economical, efficient and environment friendly, improvement of ship …

The problem of modelling a smooth contour with a regular change in curvature representing
a monotone curve with specified accuracy is solved in this article. The contour was formed …

Heat pumps are seen as a highly efficient promising technology for space heating and
cooling. Their efficiency has been widely studied for different types of heat pumps operating …

Purpose. To design a method for smoothing the working surfaces of stator and rotor with the
use of computer simulation to eliminate the impact of the rotor on the stator when they …

This paper presents a new approach for object reconstruction by means of smooth NURBS
curves and surfaces. Compared to the common object reconstruction algorithms that first, fit …

Autonomous Underwater Helicopter (AUH) is a disk-shaped Autonomous Underwater
Vehicle (AUV), and it has comparative advantage of near-bottom hovering and whole …

In this work we are focusing on the presentation and comparison of two parametric models
used in the generation of marine-propeller geometrical model instances. Their main function …

This study aimed to compare the non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) and Bezier curves
to design the shape of an autonomous underwater helicopter (AUH). Currently, there is no …

We present a displacement-based and a mixed isogeometric collocation (IGA-C) formulation
for free-form, three-dimensional, shear-deformable beams with high and rapidly-varying …

This paper proposes an improved parametric model called iPM4MP to construct the CAD
model of the marine propeller. iPM4MP is established through the marine structure feature …
