Abstract:

The focus of this research was in real flow effects in propeller hydrodynamics. A total of 7 journal and symposium papers have been published. A list of the publications is provided the report concludes with three selected excerpts describing technically what is considered to have been some of the more important results of the research effort. These topics include Effect of variable Bernoulli head on the configuration of propeller blades trailing vortex sheets, A first-order model for leading edge separation from lightly loaded lifting surfaces, A model for turbulent super-separation from high aspect ratio foils.
