The approach combines geometry generation, auto-meshing, optimization algorithm and CFD techniques that make the process automatically operated and extended the CFD analysis to the design stage. An upgrading project is performed for a case study to improve the efficiency of an existing ducted propeller. For the computation case, the optimized result can provide higher thrust force and efficiency than the ducted propeller installed on the vessel. The model test validated the results.en20134438444Shang hai shiAutomatic optimizationCFDSteady calculationTechnikIngenieurwissenschaftenJournal Article10.3969/j.issn1000-4874.2013.04.009Other
