THE ANALYSIS OF CONTROLLABLE PITCH PROPELLER CHARACTERISTICS AT OFF-DESIGN CONDITIONS

Model tests were conducted to study the effect of cavitation and wake field on blade loading. Blade geometry is discussed and a numerical analysis method is described. Controllable pitch propeller hydrodynamics are then dealt with, and the last section is devoted to practical aspects of cp-propeller design.
