Update: New Revision (2016/09/10) on "https://pinshape.com/items/25939-3d-printed-water-jet-pump"
This Water Jet Drive has been developed for a large sized boat. This jet drive can produce a flow rate roughly 192 L/m in my test setup (see below). With a exit velocity of 2.1 m/s. the aim was to create a high flow low pressure pump to have a lot of pushing force. Therefore an axial pump was the best suited solution.... 4 iterations later and i have created an outstanding pump. The only thing that will be changed is the prop, to a printed version.
The test setup:
