Acknowledgements First and foremost, appreciation and thanks arc bestowed upon Prof. Andy Fisher for his guidance, support and advice. From the beginning slages to the submission of this thesis, he supported and kept me on the path towards completion, and I did learn a 10\ from him. I am greatly indebted. I expresses thanks to Matthew Garvin, manager ofdesign and fabrication in Oceanic Consulting Corporation, for providing propeller geometry, experimental results and guidance. [ would like to extend thanks to Prof. Mahmoud Haddam. I learned a lot from him about propeller design and tesling. I would like to acknowledge the support of the people in the rapid prototyping lab for their support during the propeller fabrication using Stratasys Fusion Deposition Modeling (FDM). iii
