ABSTRACT: The use of a duct around the propeller aims to increase the propulsive efficiency by means of
accelerating the inflow to the propeller (accelerating duct, kort nozzle), to decrease the inflow to the propeller
for reducing the cavitation risk (decelerating duct), or to protect the propeller against damage. In this study
the optimum duct geometry is investigated for a passenger ferry with the aim of protecting the propeller
against damage and if possible to increase the propulsion efficiency. The effects of various duct sections on
performance of the ducted propellers are analyzed by a ducted propeller analysis method based on lifting
surface theory.

METHOD
The ducted propeller analyses are carried out using
an analysis method based on the lifting surface
theory presented by Glover and Szantyr (1989). In
this method, the hydrodynamic loading on the
propeller blades and on the duct is replaced by
appropriate distribution of vorticity while the
thickness of the propeller blades and duct is
modeled by the appropriate distribution of sources
and sinks. These singularities are distributed on
the surfaces built up by the meanlines of the
propeller blade sections and the meanlines of the
chordwise duct sections. Kinematic boundary
conditions are utilized to determine the vortex
distributions which represent hydrodynamic loads.
The kinematic boundary condition forms origin of
the lifting surface equation formulation. According
to this condition, the velocity of the flow which
comes to the lifting surface should be parallel to
the surface. In other words, no flow should pass
from the surface; total of normal velocity should
be zero at all points on the surfaces of the nozzle
and the propeller camber line. This condition can
be written as below for propeller and nozzle lifting
surfaces:
