Resumen

This study provides a comparison of propulsion performance, with a particular focus on efficiency, by varying rake distribution at the tips of propellers. Owing to increased attention to environmental pollution, there is a significant interest in reducing the energy efficiency design index (EEDI) and SOx emissions by improving the performance in the field of shipbuilding. The forward (Kappel) and backward tip rake propellers have been widely used to improve efficiency, as well as to reduce fluctuating pressure from the tip vortex cavitation. As there is almost no parametric and design research on tip rake propellers, this systematic parametric study was conducted to identify the optimal configuration by the potential code. For this performance comparison the KP505 (KCS propeller) was chosen as the reference propeller as the tips of that propeller have no rake. The model test and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) calculation confirmed the result by comparing the open water performances for the three optimally selected propellers (forward, backward, KP505). The differences of efficiency obtained from the potential analysis and the model test exhibit similar tendencies, but the result for the CFD is different. The difference would be investigated by changing the grid system around the tip as well as the turbulence model in the CFD analysis. An analysis of self-propulsion and pressure fluctuation is also expected to be conducted in the near future.
