Hydrodynamic Design of Highly Loaded Torque-neutral Ducted Propulsor for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

The design method for marine propulsor (propeller/stator) is presented for an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) that operates at a very high loading condition. The design method is applied to Virginia Tech Dragon AUV. It is based on the parametric geometry definition for the propulsor, use of high...
