  • Abstract
    This paper examines dynamical models for bladed-propeller type marine thrusters. Previously reported thruster dynamics models are reviewed, and a new simplified model is proposed. Experimental testing of both the transient and steady-state performance of a marine thruster corroborates previously reported data, validates the simplified thruster model, and raises new questions
