Abstract
⺠Jet from six-blade ship propeller with limited existing documentation is studied. ⺠Six-blade propeller has a lower tangential velocity, but a higher radial velocity. ⺠Six-blade propeller has its own diffusing mechanism compared to three-blade propeller. ⺠Axial, tangential and radial velocities and turbulence intensity are investigated. ⺠Empirical equation to predict the peak of turbulence intensity is proposed.
