Abstract This paper focuses on the ducted propulsion with the accelerating nozzle, and discusses the influence of its fluid acceleration quality on its propulsive performances, including the hull efficiency, the relative rotative efficiency, the effective wake, and the thrust deduction factor. An actual ducted propulsion system is used as an example for computational analysis. The computational conditions are divided into four combinations, which are provided with different propeller pitches, cambers, and duct lengths. The method applied in this study is the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology, and the contents of the calculation include the hull's viscous… More >
