Experimental and computational studies of a ducted tip propeller

When a fluid flows past a lifting surface, tip vortices are created. On marine propellers, these tip vortices reduce the efficiency of the blades and can have a number of other undesirable effects if cavitation occurs. Several propeller modifications have been proposed to suppress tip vortex roll...
