Research Abstract	A tool to optimize propeller with energy saving device in hydrodynamic aspect has been developed considering interaction between energy-saving device and propeller. The energy-saving device has blades and it is equipped behind propeller. The number of blades is the same as that of propeller and diameter of the blade is about 40% of propeller. Real-coded genetic algorithm is used for optimization procedure. The characteristics of the optimized propeller with energy-saving device were measured in the model tests and the usefulness of the present tool was confirmed
