Experimental Study of Small Flapped Rudder with Rotating Cylinder and Analytical Estimation of Improvements in Ship's Mancuvering Performance with its Application

  • Published : 1979.09.01

Abstract

A method of improving rudder effectiveness by applying a rotating cylinder to a rudder(so called "rotating-cylinder rudder") has been experimentally studied. Also, the improvements in ship's maneuvering characteristics with its application has been analytically evaluated. It has been shown that this improvement is significant.
