Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This article presents one method of estimating form factor and wake characteristics based on parameters derived from potential flow calculation. Three factors were considered in connection with wake characteristics: (1) bilge vortex center and wake value there; (2) effective wake; and (3) wake peak value on centerline. Further, an application of this method to stern design for the improvement of propulsive performance and propeller exciting force is described.
