For a mini remotely operated vehicle (mini-ROV), the performance of the propulsion system has a direct impact on its underwater running and operation. A proper designed propulsion module will improve the maneuverability and controllablity of the mini ROV. In this paper, we propose a kind of propulsion modular series taking lower drag, higher efficiency and lighter weight as design objectives. Simulation and experiment results are also presented to illustrate performance of a specific designed thruster.
