The computational results presented in this paper may be summarised in the following conclusions: 1. Lifting force and drag force coefficients have a good conformity with experiment especially in the range of angle of attack from 0 to 6 degrees. The critical point of lifting force coefficient characteristic is predicted with accuracy of about 1 degree. 2. The cavitation computation gives reliable results for the prediction of laminar and bubble cavitation, however the model fails to predict the tip vortex cavitation phenomenon.
