A compact computational method for predicting forces on a rudder in a propeller slipstream

A modified lifting line theory is presented which models ship rudder load characteristics when operating downstream of a propeller. The effects of the propeller upstream are modelled using blade element-momentum theory and are incorporated in the lifting line analysis as changes in the spanwise inpu...
