Research on hydrodynamics performance for symmetry propellers base on AU propellers
This paper alters the blade section of AU propeller to build the symmetry propellers for a special boat,the open water hydrodynamics feature of AU propeller was simulated by CFD method.Research data were compared to the ex-periment chart and to verify the effectiveness of the numerical method.The force,torque,and related coefficient of both pro-pellers were compared.The merits and drawbacks of symmetry propeller were summarized through calculation and analyses.
