Abstract Kort-nozzle propellers are used for the tugs, trawlers and other vessels in which are working in heavy
conditions. Thrust is generated by propeller and duct. In order to evaluate the propulsive performance of the
Kort-nozzle propeller, a Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) solver is employed. Kort-nozzle propeller is
selected by Kort-nozzle propeller with 19A nozzle. The Kort-nozzle propeller is analyzed by three turbulence
models of the k- standard, k- SST and RSM. The numerical results are compared with experimental data.
Hydrodynamic characteristics are presented and discussed.
Keywords: Kort-nozzle propeller, turbulence model, hydrodynamic analysis

Kt exp In this study, a Kort-nozzle propeller with 19A duct
0.3 K-epsilon was numerically analyzed using RANS solver. Based on
0.2 K-omeag the results, the following conclusions may be drawn:
RSM The Kort-nozzle propeller is analyzed with three
0.1 models of k- standard, k- SST and RSM and
0 the results were compared with experimental data.
The error percentages showed that the RSM
0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1 model has relatively lower error compared to
0.7 other two models, but it requires a lot of time and
high computational cost.
0.6 Comparing the results of these three turbulent
0.5 models are shown that the k- standard model has
relatively better than the other two models in
0.4 10Kq exp
heavy conditions (lower J), while the k- SST
0.3 K-epsilon model has relatively better in light condition
K-omeag (higher J).
