AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF PROPELLER-INDUCED APPENDAGE FORCES AS INFLUENCED BY APPENDAGE ATTACK ANGLE AND PROPELLER POSITION,

Abstract

An experimental study was undertaken in a water tunnel to determine the effect appendage attack angle had on the propeller induced appendage forces as the spacing between the appendage and the propeller changed. Both the axial and transverse induced appendage forces were measured. The relationship of the maximum induced appendage force and the propeller angular position was also determined. Propellers having two and three blades were employed in these investigations. The propellers were located both downstream and upstream of the appendage. (Author)
