TUNNEL HULL CAVITATION AND PROPELLER INDUCED PRESSURE INVESTIGATION

James G. Peck

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Abstract : Cavitation performance of two propellers at different hull clearance-to-diameter ratios in a tunnel hull model are presented, as well as the propeller-induced pressures measured in the tunnel wall. Cavitation performance of the two propellers in uniform flow is also included. The propellers operating in the tunnel hull were found to be more efficient than in uniform flow. Predominate features of the induced pressure measurements were the blade-frequency harmonics. There was no evidence of flow separation on the tunnel hull model at simulated ship speeds of 45 knots.
