Propeller Cavitation in Non-Uniform Flow and Correlation with the Near Pressure Field

An experimental study is carried out in a cavitation tunnel on a propeller operating downstream of a non-uniform wake. The goal of this work is to establish quantitative correlations between the near pressure field and the cavitation pattern that takes place on the propeller blades. The pressure fie...
