Assessment of different methods for the prediction of marine propellers induced pressures

摘要

This paper addresses the problem of the prediction of propellers induced pressures; to this aim numerical and experimental results (both in model and full scale) in correspondence to different functioning conditions for a fast twin screw ship are reported. Numerical results were obtained by means of two different BEM codes and, only for specific cases, of a RANSE solver. Experiments were carried out both in model scale at cavitation tunnel and in full scale.
