An Archimedes screw is a pump, not a prime mover. From what I understand, such a screw will not have better performance than a prop of the same diameter. I will say that a prop in a tunnel hull can work to reduce operational draft, but it is less efficient than a prop mounted outside the hull, but I think better than a axial impeller (jet drive).
