I think you're referring to 'torque roll'. Prop walk produces a yawing effect on the boat, which seems to be produced by a side-ways force generated by the propeller (or maybe a torque around the vertical axis of the boat). I guess a torque around the vertical axis of the boat could be generated...
I've been puzzling over this problem all day so I'm hoping someone can come up with some better ideas than I have:
When you put a boat that has a single propeller in reverse it will also turn. The direction in which it turn is based on the direction that the propeller rotates; if it rotates...
Hi, I'm trying to find an analytical solution (if one exists) to the 1d diffusion equation with variable diffusivity κ(x);
\partial_t u(x,t) = \partial_x[\kappa(x) \partial_x u(x,t)]
Could someone point me in the right direction to solve this if its possible to do so analytically. I've...
