Global Uncertainty Analysis of Full-Scale Submarine Propulsion Predictions Using Model Tests in the LCC

Abstract

Estimates of the uncertainties attached to full-scale predictions of submarine propulsion based on model tests in the Large Cavitation Channel (LCC) are obtained by means of a global uncertainty analysis. The analysis takes into account all the component uncertainties, including the uncertainties associated with the prediction procedure and the measurements performed both at model scale and at full scale, which influence the overall uncertainty of full-scale predictions.
