Inverse Modeling for In Situ Hydrodynamic Load Identification of Flexible Marine Propulsors in Multiphase Flow

Abstract

Funds are provided to perform the following tasks:(Period 1 - 4/15/16-9/30/16 ): Perform experimental studies to investigate the steady and unsteady performance, and flow-induced vibration characteristics of a rigid and a flexible 3-D hydrofoil in fully wetted, cavitating, and ventilated conditions. (Period 2 - 10/1/16-9/30/17): Validate forward and inverse FSI models for steady-state flow conditions in fully wetted, cavitating, and ventilated flow conditions; extend inverse FSI models for unsteady flow conditions. (Period 3 - 10/1/17-9/30/18): Validate forward and inverse FSI models for unsteady fully wetted, cavitating, and ventilated flow conditions.
