A Study on Performance Prediction Method of the Propeller Boss Cap Fins (PBCF) in Full-Scale

摘要

SPIV measurements and CFD calculations were carried outin order to investigate the reasons for the difference in theenergy saving effects of PBCF in model test and in full scaledata. It was confirmed to be able to evaluate the magnitude ofthe full scale energy saving effect of PBCF by taking intoaccount for the velocity distribution of propeller inflow in thefull scale ship. As results, it was suggested that EFD and CFDanalysis using simulated full scale ship wake is effective toestimate the energy saving effect of PBCF in full scale.
