• Content Traditionally the propulsive properties
  are examined in the open-water and
  self-propulsion tests. In this project the same
  must be examined by CFD by using a relevant
  Navier-Stokes equations solver. The results must
  be compared with results of model tests. The
  examination must include
• wake fraction, i.e. nominal and effective wake,
  wake scaling (if possible) and dependence of
  propeller loading and load distribution.
• thrust deduction fraction in model and full
  scale and its dependence on propeller load
  distribution
• relative rotative efficiency (if possible) and
  its dependence on propeller geometry and
  loading.
