The flow about a slender propellor-driven body in a temperature stratified fluid

An experimental study of the turbulent wake produced by a stern-propellor-driven body moving in a temperature-stratified fluid is presented. The velocity and thermal boundary layers on the body upstream of the propellor are also examined. Mean flow velocities, static pressure, flow angularity and me...
