Comparison of EFD and CFD investigations of velocity fields for selected body–propeller configurations

Purpose of this paper is to analyse correlation between CFD calculation and experiments on axisymmetric body with working propeller. Model tests were conducted in 1981–1986 in the cavitation tunnels of Ship Propeller Department of the Institute of Fluid Flow Machinery of the Polish Academy of Sciences and in Ship Hydromechanics Division Ship Design and Research Centre in Gdańsk [[1], [2], [3], [4], [5] and [6]]. CFD calculations were made in 2007 in Ship Hydromechanics Division Ship Design and Research Centre in Gdańsk.
