Deflection Measurements on Propeller 5503 in Ahead and Crashback

Abstract

Propeller 5503 was tested in ahead and crashback in the Navys Large Cavitation Channel (LCC) in February and April of 2009. The deflection of the blades was measured using defocused particle image velocimetry. Comparisons were made between the measured deflection and predictions. The test achieved good correlation with predictions for loading up to 900 RPM in ahead design operations, however no meaningful data was able to be collected in the crashback condition due to high unsteadiness in RPM.
