“Application of Theory in the Optimization of the Propulsion Configuration of a Single-Screw Container Ship”, by Peter van Oossanen and Marinus Oosterveld, Published in the Proceedings of the Symposium on “Practical Design in Shipbuilding”, Tokyo, Japan, pp. 319-328, October 1977 (ID No. 4483).
This paper describes the results of a study of the effect of the number of blades, tip clearance, and propeller diameter on propeller-induced pressure forces on the hull of a single-screw container vessel.
