SOME INVESTIGATIONS INTO PROPELLER OPEN-WATER CHARACTERISTICS FOR ANALYSIS OF SELF-PROPULSION FACTORS

The choice of propeller characteristics for the analysis of self-propulsion test results is one of the most important problems to be solved in the process of standardizing the model-ship correlation method. Two methods are widely used: (1) one employing the propeller open-water characteristics at the same Reynolds number as in self-propulsion tests, and (2) the other employing the propeller open-water characteristics at the standard Reynolds number. Investigations conducted at the Nagasaki Experimental Tank to determine which of these two methods is preferable in the analysis of self-propulsion factors are described in detail.
