This paper summarises in a comprehensive and specialised manner the pump-jet hydrodynamic performance, noise performance, flow field characteristics involving cavitation erosion and vortices properties of tip-clearance, the interaction between the rotor and the stator, and the wake field, as well as the optimal design. The design technique is described, as well as the benefits and breadth of applications of numerical and experimental methods. Furthermore, it offers a vision for future research and draws conclusions about the key problems found in application.
