The linearization in cavity thickness is adopted to reduce the computing time and storage space. The iteration scheme between chordwise strips has been used because the range and volume of cavitation are both unknown. The propeller cavitation range determined by the calculation method presented in this paper agrees with the observation results of cavity image at cavitation tunnel very well, and this proves the practicability of the method.展开更多

The interaction between propeller and pod was treated with the iterative calculation of induced velocity potential, and the method of induced velocity potential can save a great deal of storage and computation time compared to the method of induced velocity. The induced velocity potential of unit singularity on every pod panel to every key blade panel and of unit singularity on every key blade panel and its wake panel to every pod panel were calculated when the key blade is at every angle position. Based on the wake model of the conventional single propeller, a new wake model of podded propeller was constructed. The propeller is analyzed only on the key blade in order to save computation time and memory space. The method can be used to calculate the hydrodynamics performance and cavitation of propeller in uniform and non-uniform inflows. It can give the unsteady force and cavitation shape of propeller. The propeller cavitation range determined by the present method agrees with the observation results of cavity image given in cavitation tunnel well, and this proves the practicability of the method.展开更多

With a hybrid grid based on Navier-Stokes （N-S） and bubble dynamics equations, some recent validation results are presented in this paper in the predictions of the thrust, the torque and the vapor volume fraction on the back side of propeller blade for a uniform inflow. The numerical predictions of the hydrodynamic performance and the sheet cavitation under several operating conditions for two propellers agree with the corresponding measured data in general. The thrust and the torque are plotted with respect to the advance rate and the cavitation number. The cavitation performance breakdown is closely related to the strong sheet cavitation around propellers. The models with parameters modified are shown to predict the propeller cavitation well.展开更多
