Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper demonstrated time-averaged axial jet velocity at initial plane and jet velocity variations behind propeller from a navigating ship by adopting computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method and particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique. This work established a numerical model of advancing propeller and carried on an experiment of self-propelled ship model, in order to validate the reliability of this model. Research results have shown that jet velocity of CFD prediction were in good agreement with PIV measurement both in near-field and far-field of propeller jet flow, so it could validate that the numerical model of advancing propeller based on CFD method was accurate and reliable.
