Abstract

Ship propeller cavitation is considered to be one of the most important sources of underwater noise. Furthermore it often contributes considerably to the noise level aboard the ship. Much research has been carried out in this field in order to reduce the extent of cavitation by a proper blade design. Also through the use of model simulation techniques more insight into the cavitation performance has been gained. An important overview about this subject has been presented by ISAY [1].
