Pilot Study of Electric Hubless Rim-Driven Thrusters for Transport in Inland Waterways

Projekt:

Branschprogrammet hållbar sjöfart

Sammanfattning:
This project studied a conceptual hubless rim-driven thruster
(RDT) in which the blades are driven by an outer rim instead of a
central hub. A novel approach to enhance the hydrodynamic
efficiency of this concept was suggested by altering the gap
geometry, and its validity was subsequently confirmed through
numerical simulations. The results of this project are valuable for
the development of effective RDTs for electric vessels operating
on inland waterways.
