Numerical Predictions of Cavitating Flow around Model Scale Propellers by CFD and Advanced Model Calibration

The numerical predictions of the cavitating flow around two model scale propellers in uniform inflow are presented and discussed. The simulations are carried out using a commercial CFD solver. The homogeneous model is used and the influence of three widespread mass transfer models, on the accuracy o...
