A numerical and experimental study was carried out to predict
propeller noise level for a navy
vessel
model propeller. Some conclusions
drawn from the study are as follows: · Open water performance
of the validation propeller was well predicted, which
was the input for the noise calculations. · Noise
levels of the
propellers were satisfactorily predicted
for majority of the
receivers, except
for the receiver
with an angle to the shaft
axis. · The next step
of the study is to include the cavitating stage of the noise prediction. · In addition, effect
of anti-fouling paint, namely
environmentally friendly foul
release
systems,
on the noise levels of propellers will be investigated numerically and experimentally as a future work.
