Swimming velocity of 0.16 m·s−1 and thrust coefficient of 0.56 in maximum are achieved in experiments.
Increasing the amplitude and wavelength of the tubercle was shown to increase the maximum thrust by as much as 2.31% and the power coefficient by 16.4%, compared to a straight blade.
In the presence of waves the thrust coefficient is observed to raise well above its value in infinite domain, with maximum gain reaching 20%, for appropriate selection of the parameters.
Finally, influence of the specific impulse and maximum thrust magnitude on the fuel-optimal low-thrust formation reconfiguration is analyzed.
The objectives are efficiency ratio and thrust coefficient.
From the plasma probe measurements, an upper bound of 0.93 for the thrust coefficient has been derived, while direct thrust measurements have shown a thrust coefficient between 0.8 and 0.9 over the entire thrust range.
THE business of propelling large passenger jets is at maximum thrust.
The blade model performance was estimated in terms of rotation torque coefficient and thrust coefficient.
where is called the thrust coefficient and in general is a function of propeller design, Re, and.
The thrust forces and moment are determined by the maximum thrust of the thrusters as well as the thruster configuration.
