As part of a Maritime Administration project in energy conservation, the David Taylor Naval Ship Research and Development Center (DTNSRDC) has been tasked to design and evaluate a set of tandem propellers for a high-speed containership (Model 5218). This report presents the results of open water and cavitation experiments for these design tandem propellers. A conventional single propeller was also evaluated at the design conditions for this ship. A comparison of these propellers showed that the tandem set had a higher peak efficiency and slightly more cavitation than the single propeller at design conditions. When compared to other commercial ship designs, the amounts of cavitation observed on both the tandem and conventional propellers are considered acceptable.
