Define velocity ratio?..

Answer / Kaushal Kishor Mishra

Velocity ratio is a term used in marine propulsion systems to compare the speed of the water moving through the propeller (advanced velocity) with the speed of the ship relative to the water (ship's speed). It is typically represented as J/P, where J is the pitch diameter of the propeller and P is the diameter at the propeller blade tip.
