Abstract:With the increasing stringency of the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) requirements, improving the efficiency of the propeller has emerged as a significant challenge in the development of eco-friendly ships. Cavitation inevitably occurs, and it reduces the hydrodynamic performance of the propeller and erodes the blade surface, leading to increased fuel consumption. Therefore, reducing cavitation is crucial for ships to meet the EEDI requirement. This paper investigates the fatigue life and hydrodynamic pe… Show more
