A rapid design method for a marine propeller with an arbitrary radial circulation distribution was proposed in this paper. Based on the lifting surface model, a genetic algorithm was employed to design the pitch and maximum camber distributions, using given camber line shapes, aiming to achieve a chordwise distribution of circulation that is as close as possible to the specified one. Subsequently, the design problem related to specified chordwise circulation distribution was solved, the redesign process of which starts with the above designed propeller. The camber line shape of each blade section was corrected according to the difference between current chordwise circulation distribution and the specified one, so that the circulation distribution of the designed propeller converges iteratively to the expected one. By applying these methods, a five-bladed highly skewed propeller was redesigned under open water conditions, and the design results were numerically validated with RANS simulation results. The hydrodynamic performances and pressure distributions of the designed propeller are in good agreement with the design objectives, thus indicating that the proposed design methods are simple, fast, and reasonably accurate.
