Cover Story: This study presents an innovative marine propulsion system utilizing the Coanda effect to enhance efficiency, reduce fuel consumption, and lower CO2 emissions. Numerical simulations on a 6.5K DWT tanker assessed the self-propulsion performance of a Coanda-based propeller compared to conventional designs. Using URANS equations with the SST k–ω turbulence model, the study demonstrated that the Coanda propeller generated additional lift, reducing delivered power by approximately 7.8%. These findings highlight the potential of Coanda-based propulsion as a next-generation solution for sustainable shipping, providing significant economic and environmental benefits. Further validation through full-scale ship simulations is planned. View this paper
