THE EFFECT OF RADIAL CIRCULATION DISTRIBUTION ON PROPELLER CAVITATION

The onset of tip and hub vortex cavitation can be influenced by the design shape of the radial circulation distribution. Four model propellers with different radial circulation distributions have been designed and model tested. The model test results showed the variation of cavitation onset and efficiency with different radial circulation distributions.
