Numerical Investigation of Hydrodynamic Characteristics of a Rim-Driven Thruster Coupled with an Underwater Vehicle

In this paper, the hydrodynamic characteristics of a rim-driven thruster (RDT) behind the hull of an underwater vehicle are investigated.The studied underwater vehicle is the benchmark DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) suboff model, with and without full appendages.In order to verify and validate the numerical model, a grid sensitiv
