Abstract

The marine propeller is the principal ship component to provide the necessary propulsion and when working at the aft of a ship, the propeller operates in a heterogeneous field because of the wake, created by the hull, which can have an effect on performance since the interaction is directly related to vibrations, noise and propulsion performances. So, the physical mechanisms that characterize the interactions between the propeller and the hull is very complex.
