Abstract
This study numerically carried out the propeller open water test(POW) by solving Navier-Stokes equations governing the three-dimensional unsteady incompressible viscous flow with the turbulence closure model of the ${\kappa}-{\omega}$ SST model. Numerical simulations are performed at various range of advance ratios. Corresponding to Reynolds numbers of $5.89{\times}105{\sim}6.47{\times}105$ based on free stream velocity and the chord length at 0.7 propeller radius. The present results give a good agreement with those of the experiment. The propeller induced vortical structures have been analyzed by visualizing the resultant vorticity. As the advance ratio increases, the magnitude and length of the resultant vorticity decrease significantly. As the main focus of present study, the numerical model to present the ($r-{\theta}$) plane-averaged resultant vorticity along the streamwise direction for various advance ratios has been suggested.
