Numerical analysis on hydrodynamic performance of a rim-driven thruster near a free surface

To investigate the hydrodynamic characteristics of a rim-driven thruster (RDT) operating under near-free-surface conditions, numerical simulations of the RDT flow field were conducted using a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach. The Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equatio...
