Theoretical Optimization of a Water-Augmented Turbofan Marine Propulsion System
This paper presents a theoretical investigation of a wateraugmented turbofan engine, one in which large quantities of sea water are injected into the fan duct section. Results indicate that up to three or four times dry thrust and propulsive efficiency are obtained depending on vessel speed, fan...
