Abstract
  Surface-piercing propellers (SPP) are known as one of the most efficient propellers in marine sciences and maritime industries. In this study, different types of simulations were performed on an SPP in various rotational speeds in open water conditions, and a numerical study was also carried out on a ...  Read More

Abstract
  The Surface-Piercing propeller blades move in and out of the water with each rotation to reduce the immersion depth from the free surface to the shaft axis . The main challenge facing surface piercing propellers, however, is their lower efficiency at lower advance velocity, compared to other propulsion ...  Read More
