Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a flow-guiding system (10) for a ship propulsion system, the flow-guiding system comprising a flow-guiding device (1) and a propeller (2),the flow-guiding device (1) being positioned upstream of the propeller (2), wherein theflow-guiding device (1) comprises at least one flow-guiding element (4a, 4b, 4c, 5a, 5b) for changing - during operation - the flow pattern of an upstream water flow (F1) from upstream of the flow-guiding element (1) to the propeller (2) so that itincreases the angle of attack of the incoming water flow (F2) of blades (3) of the propeller (2) and / orgenerates at least one vortex (V1, V2, V3) in the incoming water flow (F2) of the blades (3) of the propeller (2)
