A Numerical Investigation of a Winglet-Propeller Using an LES Model

The generation of tip vortex cavitation (TVC) is a common phenomenon in marine propellers. Therefore, it is important to find a way for the effective suppression of TVC. Based on the enlightenment of bionics, a propeller with winglets was numerically investigated by using a large eddy simulation (LE...
