Numerical and experimental propeller noise investigations

The standard propeller has been investigated in model scale, using medium size cavitation tunnel. The hydroacoustic characteristics of propellers under different loading conditions have been investigated. Additionally the presented experimental results have been used for the verification of applied numerical approach. During both numerical and experimental analyses non-uniform inflow propeller's conditions have been adapted. Good correlations of both kinds of results have been noticed and highlighted.
