Experimental and numerical analyses of the hydrodynamic performance of propeller boss cap fins in a propeller-rudder system

This paper presents the simulated and experimental results of propeller-rudder systems with propeller boss cap fins (PBCFs) and analyzes the hydrodynamic performance of PBCFs in propeller-rudder systems. The purpose is to study the impact of PBCFs on the hydrodynamic performance of rudders. Hydrodyn...
