Abstract
Performance of the PTTC propeller has been investigated
numerically according to the instructions given in the
Propeller performance -workshop of the SMP'11 symposium.
The calculations have been performed by the RANS equation
solver FINFLO. The workshop tasks included a prediction
of the propeller open water curves, the propeller wake
field, and the cavitation behavior at three different
operation points. The model experiments were made for a
validation of the calculations at the SVA Potsdam towing
tank and the cavitation tunnel. The propeller wake field
was captured reasonably but a denser grid should be
created in order to reach a better grid convergence. The
influence of a turbulence model should also be
investigated. The cavitation predictions show a
qualitatively reasonable behavior
