The Numerical Prediction and Analysis of Propeller Cavitation Benchmark Tests of YUPENG Ship Model

The numerical simulation of propeller cavitation benchmark tests of YUPENG ship model is studied based on OpenFOAM, an open-source CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) platform, and the benchmark tests are introduced as well. The propeller cavitation shape and the hull pressure fluctuation are measure...
