Cavitation analysis using CFD

摘要

ACCORDING TO Bart Stock-dill, of Robert Allan Ltd, CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) can play a significant role in propeller design and problem solving.Water will boil at room temperature if the pressure is low enough. In fact, the pressure has to be very low, about 2% of standard atmospheric pressure at sea level. Marine propellers use pressure differ-ences across their blades to generate thrust.
