Influence of Propulsion Type on the Stratified Near Wake of an Axisymmetric Self-Propelled Body

To better understand the influence of swirl on the thermally-stratified near wake of a self-propelled axisymmetric vehicle, three propulsor schemes were considered: a single propeller, contra-rotating propellers (CRP), and a zero-swirl, uniform-velocity jet. The propellers were modeled using an Actu...
