Unsteady Propeller Cavitation Including Full Description of Shock-Wave Dynamics
Abstract
This proposed effort will develop and implement an unsteady capability to the existing, fully compressible, density-based approach for the numerical simulation of cavitating ship propeller flow, with the aim to broaden the spectrum of possible applications. Key elements are the development of an unsteady, inhomogeneous inflow boundary condition and a mesh interface algorithm for coupling moving and non-moving domains. These efforts would enable a closer simulation of the actual operating environment of ship propellers, including the presence of a ship wake, oblique flow as well as the effect of control surfaces such as struts or rudders.
