PhD Studentship in the manoeuvring-structural performance of a novel ship propeller-rudder system (Application Code: MarineZero1.1)
The project aims to characterise the flow conditions and subsequent structural response during the manoeuvring of a ship fitted with a novel propeller-rudder technology system that improves propulsive efficiency and contributes to decarbonising future shipping.
