Abstract
This chapter provides guidelines for the determination of the thrust generated by various types of thrusters. It also provides guidelines for the assessment of the interactions of thrusters (thruster-thruster, thruster-hull, thruster-current), which often result in a reduction of the available thrust. The available thrust from this chapter can be used for preliminary studies of the design of the thruster assisting system. Manufacturer’s test data of full scale or suitable model test for the thrust output of thrusters are to be used whenever possible for further verification.
