It is very important to estimate the interaction between propeller and rudder because the rudder in the propeller slipstream has the large effect on the propulsive performance. The propeller slipstream has the two characteristics produced by the working propeller. One is the velocity gradient in the axial direction by the accelerated flow and the other is the circumferential flow which does not contribute to the propulsive force. Many researchers have studied the propeller-rudder interaction problem and developed the unique rudders or energy saving devices added on the rudder in order to get the high propulsive performance including the rudder. This paper presents the two kinds of newly developed rudders for the low drag and high performance. One is the swept back rudder to reduce the rudder drag produced by the velocity gradient and the other is the high thrust rudder with U-shaped notch which utilizes the circumferential flow to obtain the rudder thrust effectively. The rudder drag and the propulsive performance including these rudders are investigated numerically and experimentally.
