Blade thickness on propeller wash prediction

October 12, 2005, 14:18

I am predicting the downstream propeller jet induced by a ship's propeller. One of the key points are still under investigation is the influence of the thickness of ship's propeller blade on the induced wash. Please give me some ideas if you have. Thank you.

I design and build large, high speed marine propellers. You can visit me at <www.softcav.com>.

I have interest in improved analysis of propellers, including cavitation effects.
