21ST CENTURY DEVELOPMENT AND ADOPTION OF CONTRA ROTATING PROPELLERS FOR SHIP PROPULSION

Brunvoll has invested significant effort into exploring the potential of contra-rotating propellers for ship propulsion. This paper summarises the work conducted by others before us, as well as Brunvoll's own research over the past decade, aiming to highlight the potential of this propulsion technology.

This paper is a revised version of the paper published and presented at the Hellenic Institute of Marine Technology's 2024 Annual Conference of Marine Technology.
