Propeller Nozzles Design
We design and supply all types of propeller nozzles for ships. The design is made using CFD and considering the interaction among the nozzle, hull and propeller.
How can I improve towpull with a custom propeller nozzle for my vessel?
Choosing the right profile for your nozzle needs a dedicated analysis that VICUS can provide as a key-turn supplier. Our services include on-site measurement, integration drawings with the ship’s structure, FEM and CFD calculations as well as complete retrofitting projects from the feasibility study to sea trials.
