Numerical Study of the Hydrodynamic Characteristics Comparison between a Ducted Propeller and a Rim-Driven Thruster
The Rim-Driven Thruster (RDT) is an extraordinary innovation in marine propulsion applications. The structure of an RDT resembles a Ducted Propeller (DP), as both contain several propeller blades and a duct shroud. However, unlike the DP, there is no tip clearance in the RDT as the propeller is dire...
