The design of the stator and nozzle of a rim-driven pumpjet thruster (RDPJ) is addressed through a simulation-based design optimization approach built on a parametric description of the main geometrical characteristics of the system, a RANS solver wi

During the early design stage of an underwater vehicle, the correct assessment of its manoeuvrability is a crucial task. Conducting experimental tests still has high costs, especially when dealing with small vehicles characterized by low available bu

In the current paper, high-fidelity improved delayed detached-eddy simulations (IDDES) using the OpenFOAM library are employed to characterize the performances and the wake dynamics of RIM-driven thrusters. Despite their relatively old conception, th

Tip loading is a common strategy to increase the propulsive efficiency of propellers. Solutions such as contracted and tip-loaded (CLT) and “New generation” CLT propellers exploit the presence of an endplate (“true” or as the result of a dedi

A method for the morphing of surface/volume meshes suitable to be used in hydrodynamic shape optimization is proposed. Built in the OpenFOAM environment, it relies on a Laplace equation that propagates the modifications of the surface boundaries, rea

Ducted propellers, in decelerating duct configuration, may represent a possible solution for the designer to reduce cavitation and its side effects, that is, induced pressures and radiated noise; however, their design still presents challenges, due t

Pre-swirl fins-based energy saving devices (ESDs) have been designed to improve the propulsive performances of twin-screw ships. To this aim, a combined BEM/RANSE method for efficient self-propulsion prediction is required. The approach is included i
