DEVELOPMENT OF MARINE PROPELLERS WITH BETTER CAVITATION PERFORMANCE, 3RD REPORT: PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION TO STABILIZE CAVITATION

Pressure distribution was studied in relation to its effectiveness in stabilizing sheet cavitation and in suppressing the harmful cloud cavitation that can be generated when propellers operate under severe conditions. Pressure fluctuations induced by a cavitating propeller owe mainly to time variations in cavity volume, so a reduction of that volume has the potential to both suppress erosion and reduce pressure fluctuations.
