The propeller is an essential piece in most ship propulsion systems. Its performance characteristics have to be estimated early in the design because powering requirements of the ship and the resulting engine selection have repercussions on the ship's general layout. Naval architects aim to select a propeller which combines hull and propeller into a highly efficient propulsion system. Propeller series data is a very useful asset in this process. A propeller series is a set of propellers in which key propeller characteristics have been systematically varied. This chapter focuses on the Wageningen B‐Series. The series covers a wide range of principal propeller characteristics. Its data is available in the form of charts and regression polynomials. The chapter briefly summarizes other propeller series with references for further study. Series data are limited for controllable pitch propellers.
