AN EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF TURBULENT FLOWS AROUND A SHIP-LIKE BODY WITH AN WITHOUT PROPELLER

This paper deals with an experimental and numerical study of the turbulent flow around a submerged body of revolution with a propeller in operation. The numerical solution of the corresponding Reynolds equation is based on the finite volume approach in connection with the - turbulence model. Two different techniques are used to solve the Reynolds equations numerically. The calculated profiles of the mean velocities and pressure coefficients are compared with the measurements for different propeller loading conditions. Also included is a comparison of experimental and numerical data for the case without propeller. The stern geometry of the model was selected to provide separated flow just before the propeller plane. The goal of the study is to determine the influence of the propeller loading on the separated flow around the stern of the model.
