... program, conducted at full scale, has been completed on the USCG Fast Response Cutter (FRC) to evaluate how appendage and propeller redesign affects calm water powering performance and erosive cavitation onset. Aft working forward, the geometric variations considered included: addition of a stern flap...

... and the suction sides and trailing edge of blades are exposed to ventilated cavitation while they are under the water. And interface near SPP is severely deformed by the high rotating blades. This working condition of SPP, therefore, makes it hard that propeller open characteristics are estimated with high...

..., pitch rate, and cavitation on the unsteady hydrodynamic loads and wake structures of a pitching hydrofoil, and (2) the derivation and validation of a reduced-order model to predict the unsteady loads. The results show that while the fluid inertial term is the same as Theodorsen's linear potential theory...
