Numerical modelling of rotor-stator interaction in rim driven thrusters

An electric rim driven thruster is a relatively new marine propulsion device and the associated fluid dynamics have not been fully investigated. This work develops a robust CFD method and investigates both frozen rotor and unsteady simulations of rotor-stator interaction. Two solvers from OpenFOAM w...
