AN ANALYSIS OF MARINE PROPULSORS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS.
Abstract
A general classification of propulsors is established and important performance parameters are defined. A variety of marine thrust devices is described and analyzed in detail, and a qualitative comparison of performance is made. General guidelines are offered for mating propulsors and vehicles for appropriate applications and particular mission requirements. The importance of drag reduction is recognized and various techniques are discussed. Since the paper is intended to serve as a compendium on marine propulsors, an extensive bibliography was incorporated.
