The input-output structure of the PRO-INS code is described in details. The code performs the hydrodynamic analysis of marine propellers and hydrokinetic turbines in arbitrary onset flow conditions under incompressible inviscid-flow assumptions. The code is based on a boundary element methodology (BEM) and in its more general version, it includes routines for: 1) trailing wake alignment 2) sheet cavitation pattern prediction 3) interactive boundary-layer viscous-flow analysis The code is written in FORTRAN90 and is in-house developed by CNR-INM (formerly, CNR-INSEAN). The document also presents the software PROINS-AUTOBLADE, to develop a 3D model of a hubbed screw propeller from tabulated input data, and build a surface mesh that is consistent with PROINS requirements.

Abstract
The input-output structure of the PRO-INS code is described in details. The code performs the hydrodynamic analysis of marine propellers and hydrokinetic turbines in arbitrary onset flow conditions under incompressible inviscid-flow assumptions. The code is based on a boundary element methodology (BEM) and in its more general version, it includes routines for: 1) trailing wake alignment 2) sheet cavitation pattern prediction 3) interactive boundary-layer viscous-flow analysis The code is written in FORTRAN90 and is in-house developed by CNR-INM (formerly, CNR-INSEAN). The document also presents the software PROINS-AUTOBLADE, to develop a 3D model of a hubbed screw propeller from tabulated input data, and build a surface mesh that is consistent with PROINS requirements. Details on the theoretical and computational methodology about the code are given in other reports and in the open literature.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
