Greg,
You are right. I would like to understand how to measure the contribution of the hydrodynamic forces on the propeller to its inertia. To make it simpler, consider a MerCruiser sterndrive. There is an upstream inertia of the engine and flywheel on one side of the clutch and there is a...
Is there a way to measure the inertia due to the propeller when the boat is idling as well as when running at part load/ WOT in the water? I have the polar MI of the propeller from the PRO-E model. However I was interseted in measuring the effective inertia that the propeller turning at a...
