Strut optimization analysis of azimuth thruster with contra-rotating propellers

Objective This paper aims to investigate the effect of the strut geometry on the open water performance of the azimuth thruster with contra-rotating propellers (CRPs ). Methods The RANS method and k-ω turbulence model are applied to predict the hydrodynamic performance of an azimuth thruster with CR...
