TRADE-OFFS IN THE DESIGN OF SUB-CAVITATING PROPELLERS

In this paper general account is given of the problems involved in the selection of specific values for the design parameters of marine propellers. The views and data presented are of a general nature and illustrate some of the choices involved in the design of a screw propeller such that the extent of cavitation is minimized or controlled.

• Supplemental Notes:
  • The main body of this paper was presented at the symposium on "High-powered propulsion of large ships," organized by the Netherlands Ship Model Basin, December 10-13, 1974, in Wageningen, The Netherlands.
