AN IDEA OF THE PROPULSION SYSTEM AND THE PUSHER AFT SHAPE OF A SHALLOW WATER BARGE TRAIN. IN: MARINE TECHNOLOGY V

Inland vessels operated on shallow waterways must be equipped with adequately designed drive systems which are able to produce sufficient thrust to provide the assumed traveling speed and maneuverability. The paper presents and discusses a few innovative solutions of the propulsion system linked with original shapes of the aft section of a shallow water train pusher. A numerical verification was performed on the individual solutions with respect to the expected tractive effort using the calculation system developed at the Wroclaw University of Technology in Poland.
