Abstract

Computational fluid dynamic techniques are used as a tool to predict the velocities produced in a propeller wash, which may be used to predict the scour produced downstream of a ship's propeller. A finite volume approach is used to solve the governing differential equations, incorporating a moving mesh to simulate the rotating propeller blades. The computational results are in close agreement with the experimental data available. Further investigations are ongoing.
