Numerical Analysis on the Hydrodynamic Performance of an Artificially Ventilated Surface-Piercing Propeller

When operated under large water immersion, surface piercing propellers are prone to be in heavy load conditions. To improve the hydrodynamic performance of the surface piercing propellers, engineers usually artificially ventilate the blades by equipping a vent pipe in front of the propeller disc. In...
