    Underwater researches have been carried out for various purposes such as the protection and investigation of natural and environmental resources, various construction activities, finding and extracting fossil fuel resources, academic and industrial researches. Especially in the last two decades, unmanned underwater vehicles are effectively used in almost all of these researches. One of the most essential parts of those vehicles is their thrust system which gives them the ability to move underwater. In this study, the design of a thruster for unmanned underwater vehicles is given. The designed thruster system consists of four main parts: an electric motor, a driver circuit, a magnetic coupling transmission element, and a propeller. The electrical and mechanical designs of these parts are performed depending on the predetermined design criteria. A brushless type DC motor is chosen as an electric motor, and the required torque and rpm values are determined analytically. Depending on the chosen electric motor, a suitable driver circuit is determined. Then the propeller, the magnetic coupling element, and the motor housing are designed by using the SolidWorks software package. Pressure and fluid dynamics analyses of the housing and propeller are performed by using the Ansys software package. The thruster design is validated by simulation results.
