  2. baeckmo attached a file to the thread Tunnel drive propeller selection.

    These tunnels have a shape that is thought to be ok for the flow along the hull, but when you introduce the propeller flow, the picture...

  7. baeckmo replied to the thread Jet impeller speed vs water flow.

    For a jet with constant nozzle size, the flow is proportional to rpms; the resulting pressure is proportional to rpm^2 and the required...
