Prediction of Non-Axisymmetric Effective Wake by a Three-Dimensional Euler Solver

摘要

A fully three-dimensional Euler solver, based on a finite volume approach, is devel- oped and applied to the prediction of the effective wake for propellers subject to non- axisymmetric inflows. The method is coupled with an existing lifting-surface vortex-lattice method for the analysis of unsteady cavitating propeller flows. The results are validated against analytical solutions from actuator disk theory.
