Propeller design optimization for tunnel bow thrusters in the bollard pull condition
… for an optimal vessel speed or range of speeds. OpenProp, a propeller design code based on lifting line theory, is a numerical model capable of design and analysis of such propellers. It has been experimentally validated for standard design conditions in an external flow, but until now has been …

Numerically-based ducted propeller design using vortex lattice lifting line theory
… Propeller Design and Analysis Program (OpenProp). Two routines for determining the optimum circulation distribution were considered, and a method based on calculus of variations was selected. The results of this model were compared with the MIT Propeller Lifting Line Program (PLL) output …

Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Propulsion Design
… Massachusetts Institute of Technology, called OpenProp versions 1 and 2.3 was utilized to design a custom propeller that maximizes the efficiency of the system. A brushless electric motor was selected for the candidate AUV based on a survey of available off the shelf motors and a mathematical …
