Accurate capturing of ship wake at the propeller disk is crucial for designing efficient propellers and, at the same time, avoiding erosion and noise caused by cavitation over the blade. Propeller designers often use measured or computed wake data from calm water to design propeller blades. However, calm water is a scarce scenario in an actual voyage where waves and the waves induced motions can significantly impact the flow dynamics into the propeller.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
