| Abstract | The overall research aims to develop physical model test procedures and analysis techniques for detailed studies of hydrodynamic and cavitation characteristics, such as cavitation inception behaviour, performance deterioration due to cavitation, and local flow fields using a Laser Doppler Anemometer under uniform inflow and simulated ship-wake and in non-cavitating and cavitating conditions utilizing the National Research Council Canada’s Cavitation Tunnel facility. This paper presents a comparative evaluation of the performance data obtained from cavitation tunnel tests and corresponding atmospheric CWT tests conducted under equivalent propeller loading conditions. Also presented is a baseline experimental investigation into the hydrodynamic and cavitation performance of model-scale marine propellers. The findings demonstrate that the cavitation tunnel can provide accurate assessments of hydrodynamic performance and reliable insights into cavitation phenomena for the subject propeller. Future work will extend this campaign with Laser Doppler Anemometer measurements of local flow fields and ship-wake simulation to further understand propeller-wake interactions under heavily cavitating conditions. |
