Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• A large CFD database is developed to investigate numerically the propeller scale effects and improve traditional extrapolation methods. • Results show that ITTC scaling approaches agrees only with the trends of the frictional component of thrust and torque from CFD calculations. • ITTC scaling fails to capture significant pressure-driven contributions highlighted by the CFD simulations. • Pressure strongly influence thrust and torque scaling, leading to non-monotonic trends and, sometimes, higher full-scale torque. • Findings highlight the need for data-driven scaling methods accounting for combined frictional and pressure effects.
