EFFECT OF AXIAL POSITION OF PROPELLER ON THE PROPULSION CHARACTERISTICS OF A SUBMERGED BODY OF REVOLUTION

Abstract

The propulsion performance of a submerged body of revolution was determined when the axial clearance between a stern propeller and the body was varied. Theoretical and experimental results indicate that variations, within the range of investigation, in the logitudinal position of a stern propeller do not critically affect the propulsive coefficient. In addition to these results, calculation of the propellers and the thrust deduction is discussed, and experimental results obtained from numerous wake traverses are presented.
