Abstract
The effect of the radial load distribution of the screw blades on the performance of shrouded propellers have been examined, in particular with respect to separation of the flow at the nozzle, to clearance between blade tips and nozzle wall, to efficiency and cavitation. Design diagrams have been developed for the “optimum” solution of the “screw + nozzle” combination, which can be recommended for practical purposes.
