WATER JET PROPULSORS POC: Dr. Frank Petereson, Head of Propulsor Dept., 301-227-1418. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, is available to work with industry to further the application of Water Jet technology for marine propulsion. The objectives are to advance the state of the art and to expand availability of advanced ``off the shelf'' Water Jet propulsors for government application through industrial involvement. It is anticipated that these objectives will also lead to an increased use of Water Jet propulsors in commercial applications. The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) currently has the technology to design and test Water Jet inlets, inducers (cavitating and noncavitating), impellers (subcavitating, supercavitating, and ventilated), flow passages, and jet deflectors. NSWC also has the capability to hydrodynamically integrate the Water Jet with the stern design of the vessel. Experimental data is available for small and large vessels over a broad speed range. Inquiries should be forwarded to: Dr. Frank Peterson, Head of the Propulsor Dept., (301) 227-1418 (voice), (301) 227-5764 (fax) or e-mailed to: fpeterso@oasys.dt.navy.mil or write to Code 5400, NSWC Carderock Division, U. S. Dept of the Navy, Bethesda, MD 20084-5000.
