Abstract:Nowadays with the development of computational resources, calculating the open water characteristics of the propeller using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been used widely at the initial design stage because of relatively accurate result, time and cost saving, in comparison with experimental approach. This paper presents the results of computational evaluation of propeller open water characteristics for high speed boat, based on steady RANSE flow model with rotating reference frame approach. The effects of mesh density, mesh generation are analyzed in order to improve obtained numerical results. The well-known Gawn propeller series, that is often used for high speed vessel is used to verify and validate the accuracy of case studies. In this study, the authors use the commercial solver Star CCM+ by SIEMENS.
