Abstract

A variation study is conducted in which the tunnel width and depth are varied to envisage the effect on the required propulsion power and the longitudinal position of buoyancy. The propulsion power is calculated using a combined RANS - BEM model. Furthermore, the propeller is evaluated using different design difficulty indices.
