A METHOD FOR PREDICTING THE TORQUE OF SEMIBALANCED CENTERLINE RUDDERS ON MULTIPLESCREW SHIPS,

Abstract

An empirical method is presented for predicting the torque required for semibalanced rudders not directly in the propeller slipstream. An example of the method is given and theory, full-scale trials, and model test results are compared. (Author)
