The Royal Institution of Naval Architects WATERJET PROPULSION 5 11 – 12 December 2008, London, UK.


Second Announcement & Call for Papers


This international conference continues the very successful series of RINA events looking at developments in waterjet propulsion.


Waterjets are now accepted as a proven technology, particularly for high speed craft and they are increasing their penetration into small craft, leisure, workboat, patrol and military markets. Today, waterjets are becoming the preferred propulsion choice where high efficiency, enhanced manoeuvrability, shallow draft capability and low maintenance are key requirements. Continuing developments now include very large units of 30MW capacity and the use of waterjets for high speed boost propulsion.


As the technology matures, designers need better tools to help predict the performance and efficiency of these systems across a wide range of operating conditions. Computational fluid dynamics is an increasingly powerful tool which has become almost universal, but traditional model testing and trials measurements are still required to confirm critical results.


Designers and manufacturers also continue to seek to reduce noise, wake and wash as well as optimise the strength and weight of the various mechanical components and to improve reliability, reduce installation time and maintenance.


RINA invites papers on all aspects of waterjet design, production and operation, from designers, researchers, manufacturers and operators. Topics may include the following:


• Simulation for research and design • Performance prediction modelling • New designs and applications • Control and gearing systems • Build and operational considerations


 I would like to offer a paper and attach a synopsis of no more than 250 words by 10th Sept 2008  I wish to receive details on exhibition space and sponsorship opportunities  I would like to receive a full programme brochure and registration form
