z Pulling or pushing arrangement?
z Efficiency of pulling arrangement

Two factors
Friction losses – underwater housing in the slipstream of the
propeller wake
2. Rotational energy recovery – due to the down stream strut and
fins
1.

For propeller with light load

Rotational energy recovery > Friction losses
pulling is better
fast vessel

For propeller with heavy load

Friction losses > Rotational energy recovery
pushing is better
low speed vessel

Conclusions
Hydrodynamic aspects of steerable thrusters
z Mission profile determines the choice of the design point; off-design
condition and its co-operation with the E-motor (or engine) are
important
z For low-medium speed applications (e.g. DP/DT) pushing propellers
are more efficient than pulling propellers
z Interactions among thrusters, hull, barge, etc should not be ignored
in thruster design
z High efficiency nozzles improve efficiency

8% extra bollard pull thrust
10% extra free sailing propulsion efficiency
Propulsion Supplier should take all hydrodynamic aspects
of thrusters into account to ensure a perfect match
between thrusters and the vessel
