Abstract:An improved wavy twisted rudder (WTR) is proposed based on a previous study. The misalignment of the wavy and propeller centers and the computational work of the previous study are supplemented to determine the effectiveness of the developed wavy twisted rudder. The aligned wavy twisted rudder (AWTR) was also applied to a KRISO container ship (KCS). The resistance, self-propulsion performance, and rudder forces due to the angular variation in the WTR and AWTR were compared using computational fluid dynamics (C… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
