Resumen

Podded propulsion offers excellent maneuverability without the need for mechanically complex transmission systems. However, the hydrodynamic performance of podded propulsion under maneuvering conditions has not yet been adequately investigated. This study proposes a Reynolds-averaged Navier?Stokes (RANS)-based method to investigate the hydrodynamic performance of pod thrusters under maneuvering conditions. The accuracy of the numerical method is verified based on a comprehensive convergence analysis and experimental comparison. A comparative analysis of the difference in thrust, moment and their coefficients between maneuvering and steady-state conditions is performed. Additionally, the impact of the advance number on the propeller hydrodynamic performance under maneuvering conditions is examined. The results demonstrate that the thrust coefficient and the torque coefficient of the propeller at positive and negative oblique flow angles exhibit asymmetry owing to the influence of the incoming flow velocity. Furthermore, the thrust and torque under maneuvering conditions increase significantly compared with those under the steady-state condition.
