THE RADIAL DISTRIBUTION OF PROPELLER THRUST FROM MODEL WAKE MEASUREMENTS

Abstract

The radial distribution of propeller thrust-load coefficient is calculated from experimental wake data obtained from towed and self-propulsion tests on a submerged body of revolution. The experimentally obtained thrust distribution is in excellent agreement with a theoretically calculated distribution. Numerical integration yields a total thrust-load coefficient which is in good agreement with propulsion test results. (Author)
