INFLUENCE OF WAKE ON PROPELLER LOADING AND CAVITATION

In this paper an attempt is made to determine some aspects of the interrelationship between wakefield, adapted propeller design, cavitation and dynamic load. This is performed by means of theoretical procedures for propeller design, for the determination of the dynamic propeller load and for the determination of cavitation performance. The use and need for such theoretically based calculation methods in addition to experimental methods is discussed. The main conclusions are that in order to calculate accurately the dynamic load distributions very detailed knowledge of the wake structure is required and that it is necessary to incorporate cavitation minimisation criteria in propellers design procedures.
