... important insight for the designers about the overall performance of the propulsor, however, it still lacks detailed information on the sources of these coefficients. The paper studies two design aspects namely the direction of rotation of propellers and the asymmetric strut of a Push-Pull CRP. The study...

...) is used to predict the flow around a pod with a strut, and is coupled with MPUF-3A, a lifting surface vortex-lattice method, which is applied to the propeller(s) of the pod. The propellers are modeled via body forces in GB FLOW. The 3-D effective wake for each of the propellers of the pod is evaluated...

... In modern ship design problems related to cavitation can be solved successfully by properly designing the surfaces of propeller blades, rudders, shaft struts, etc. When the cavitation is of a limited nature, optimization of the geometry with respect to the inception of cavitation can lead...
