Waterjet Propulsion: Mechanical and Hydrodynamical Design Issues

Present work deals with mechanical and hydrodynamical issues related to the design of an innovative hydrojet prototype for high speeds. Since it was not possible to address mechanical issues without referring to confidential data, these have been completely omitted. For the same reason, company name was concealed. Hydrodynamical issues surveyed impeller preliminary design procedure and its numerical model related to in-design operation. A new theoretical model corrected the numerical one.
