Abstract This paper describes a research program on podded propulsors that combines parallel developments in numerical prediction methods and experimental evaluation. Amongst the hydrodynamic issues that have been identified and addressed are questions regarding the effects of hub taper angle, pod-strut configurations, static azimuthing conditions, pod-strut interactions, gap pressure, pod gap and pod-strut geometry on podded propulsors’ performance. On the experimental side, a po d dynamometer system consisting of a six- component global dynamometer and a three-component pod dynamometer were desig
