SOME PROBLEMS OF SCALE EFFECT IN CAVITATION INVESTIGATIONS AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON THE METHODICS OF THE SHIP PROPELLER EXPERIMENTS IN CAVITATION TUNNEL

Two problems are considered: 1) the wall effect of the measuring section on the cavitation model tests and 2) the effect of the pressure field induced in the slipstream of the propeller hub on the propeller thrust. Appropriate corrections and experimental methods are proposed.
