About

The project focuses on designing and developing bio-mimetic propeller blades integrated with the PBCF (Prevention of Biofouling by Cavitation Flap) technology to minimize underwater radiated noise. By studying the propulsion systems found in marine creatures, bio-mimetic designs aim to reduce cavitation, leading to quieter operations in underwater environments. The integration of PBCF technology further prevents biofouling, improving the efficiency and longevity of the propellers. This innovation holds potential for Noval, shipping, and underwater research applications, where noise reduction is critical for operatioNol safety and marine life preservation.
