Energy-Saving Devices in Ship Propulsion: Effects of Nozzles Placed in Front of Propellers

The hydrodynamic effect exerted by a nozzle placed in front of a KP505 propeller on the propulsive performances is studied by using extensive numerical simulations. The influence of a NACA 0015 nozzle with a chord length of 0.3 of the propeller diameter, D, mounted at 0.2 D in front of the propeller...
