CAVITATION AND ITS INFLUENCE ON INDUCED HULL PRESSURE AMPLITUDES

A critical review of the following subjects is given; 1) measurement and calculation of propeller - excited pressure-amplitudes. 2) Measurement and calculation of the pressure fields on propeller blades. 3) Influence of undissolved air content on cavitation phenomena at the propeller blades and on induced hull pressure amplitudes, and 4) theoretical research on cavitation inception with application of bubble dynamics.
