The omnidirectional waterjet propeller, as a lateral thruster or dynamic positioning device, has attracted more and more attentions. Its hydrodynamic characteristics are a key factor in meeting the application requirements. However, there are limited related studies. The numerical simulation of hydrodynamic performance of the omnidirectional waterjet propeller was carried out in this paper. Based on the STAR-CCM+ software, the steady RANS method was applied to investigate the hydrodynamic performance of an omnidirectional waterjet propeller under two conditions, i. e. static water and flowing water. The results show that the hydrodynamic performance of both thrust magnitude and directionality is greatly affected by the magnitude and direction of incoming flow, and the influence is greater when the rotational speed is lower. The research in this paper reveals the thrust loss mechanism of the omnidirectional waterjet propeller. Its hydrodynamic performance should be evaluated according to its working conditions, and the low rotational speed operation should be avoided to ensure that hydrodynamic performance requirements are met.
