... ABSTRACT This paper discusses the CFD investigation to estimate the cavitation characteristics of the Princess Royal propeller using the RANS-based CFD code Simerics-MP+. The propeller used in the Princess Royal research vessel at Newcastle University was chosen for the present cavitation...

... of bodies developed by Wan Decheng's research team in Shanghai Jiao Tong University is used to numerically investigate complex ship motion problem in stopping maneuver. The simulation starts from the steady state of self-propulsion and the propeller is controlled to a reverse speed to achieve the ship...

...-L ROV is 2.3m long, 1.27m wide and 1.3m tall. In this arrangement, the maximum speed could be 3.5 kts from simple calculation of vector sum of each thrusters as the Eq. 1 where T is the maximum thrust of each propellers. horizontal thruster rov rpm uri-l rov drag force thruster rpm...

...-DOF model to analysis the motion of the ship, the single phase level set method was applied to capture free surface flow around ship, the overset grid technique to simplify the rudder angle and ship rotating motion under the force of the rudder and a prescribed body-force propeller model is adopted...

... Abstract The hydrodynamic characteristics of propeller are investigated widely due to the great significance of ship propulsion performance. In this paper, the hydrodynamic performance of DTMB P4119 propeller with viscous flow is studied by the MRFSimpleFoam solver based on the open-source...

... to search for optimal parameters of propellers, on one side, consuming minimum of energy, and on the other side, - compact arrangement of vehicle components. It is desirable to have the smallest areas of basic sections, the best streamlining in coordinate planes and such configuration of vehicle components...

... of the outside, so that it has to save energy stored in the vehicle during a cruise; for this purpose, a shape with low resistance is desirable. Efficiency of the propeller depends on the flow field around the vehicle, so that a design taking into consideration mutual interference between the propeller...
