2. Pump-jet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump-jet

   A pump-jet, hydrojet, or water jet is a marine system that produces a jet of water for propulsion. The mechanical arrangement may be a ducted propeller ( axial-flow pump ), a centrifugal pump , or a mixed flow pump which is a combination of both centrifugal and axial designs.

3. Marine propulsion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_propulsion

   Marine propulsion is the mechanism or system used to generate thrust to move a watercraft through water. While paddles and sails are still used on some smaller boats, most modern ships are propelled by mechanical systems consisting of an electric motor or internal combustion engine driving a propeller, or less frequently, in pump-jets, an impeller.

4. Impeller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeller

   Several different types of pump impellers Flexible impeller of cooling system pump of an outboard engine (1 euro cent coin for comparison, diameter 16.25 mm). An impeller is a rotating component of a centrifugal pump that accelerates fluid outward from the center of rotation, thus transferring energy from the motor that drives the pump to the fluid being pumped.

5. Cavitation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavitation

   Since all pumps require well-developed inlet flow to meet their potential, a pump may not perform or be as reliable as expected due to a faulty suction piping layout such as a close-coupled elbow on the inlet flange. When poorly developed flow enters the pump impeller, it strikes the vanes and is unable to follow the impeller passage.

6. Voith Schneider Propeller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voith_Schneider_Propeller

   The Voith Schneider propeller was originally a design for a hydro-electric turbine. [2] Its Austrian inventor, Ernst Schneider, had a chance meeting on a train with a manager at Voith's subsidiary St. Pölten works; this led to the turbine being investigated by Voith's engineers, who discovered that although it was no more efficient than other water turbines, Schneider's design worked well as ...

7. Ducted propeller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducted_propeller

   With the second type, the straight surface of the duct profile on the inside and the bent one on the outside, the inflow velocity is reduced, whereby pressure is increased, reducing cavitation. This is called a pump-jet, especially in combination with fixed blades or variable stators. NACA 4415. MARIN has done extensive research on ducted ...
