DINN-03

DINN-03 project. Cavitation behavior of CLT propellers

Objectives

Prediction of cavitation for CLT propellers (with tip-plates) by establishing an appropriate methodology for testing this type of propellers.

Additionally, two alternative camber-line distributions of the radial sections have been designed that can be used in future projects.

The application of this type of propellers in POD propulsors has been analyzed

This was a joint research project between CEHIPAR, IZAR and SISTEMAR
