Determination of a Marine Propeller Thrust Using a CFD Code

摘要

In this paper, a numerical CFD code is used to determine the characteristics of a B series marine propeller without the hull. Incompressible RANS equations were solved with SST k-ωmodel for the turbulence modelling. The thrust and torque coefficients obtained from the simulation are validated with an analytical-experimental code Propol and good agreement is observed.
