To define the guidelines for the design of a Mewis duct for a small bulk cargo ship, a numerical study was carried out to investigate the effects of a fan-shaped Mewis duct on propeller performance of a 38,000 t bulk cargo ship with a three-blade propeller. Calculations were performed using the STAR-CCM+ software based on the solution of the Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equation. Computations...
