Effect of Blade Number on Tip Vortex Cavitation of Propeller

Tip vortex cavitation not only impacts the hydrodynamic performance of a propeller but also results in vibrations, noise, and erosion. In this study, the effect of blade number on propeller tip vortex cavitation is investigated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods. Numerical simulation i...
