Abstract
Peculiarities and mechanism of propeller singing are explained based on the results of acoustic measurements and vibration excitation tests of a marine propeller.
Model experiments performed in accordance with simulation requirements were carried out in cavitation tunnel to predict the singing of a full-scale propeller.
Methods for eliminating propeller singing are suggested on the basis of mechanism of propeller singing. The results of ship trials demonstrate that these remedies are effective and can be applied to full-scale marine propeller.
