The Ducted Propeller Design and Hydrodynamic Performance Analysis

This paper aim at the integrated rudder propeller power transmission system which is specific to the towing and tugging ships rudder propeller system, presented an analyzing method with ducted propeller design. Analyzed the thrusttorqueefficiency and total pressure distribution law of blade in the condition of open water work of the propeller by means of finite element method. The numerical results and the flow details are concluded and compared with published experimental data, .Results displayed in good agreement with theoretical analysis results. Initially formed a whole process of design the rudder propeller from the initial ship type parameters to prediction of propeller under open water test condition, and had a certain reference value.
