The Influence of Material Properties on the Hydrodynamic Performance of Propeller

Article Preview

Abstract:

Fluid-solid coupling numerical method of propellers is applied to make numerical calculations of propellers made of different materials without considering the material anisotropic. Comparative analysis of hydrodynamic performance and wake flow field of the propellers are carried on under typical working conditions. The influence of the key parameters of material on the efficiency of marine propellers is analyzed. The results show that the material with greater elasticity makes the magnitude of speed increase,especiously the axial velocity. On the other hand, compared with the strong rigidity material propeller, the small rigidity material propeller increases a little in the highest value of propeller efficiency curve.
