Results of recently completed series of propeller tests carried out in large cavitation tunnel in Dept of Naval Architecture and Shipbuilding, King's College, Newcastle-on-Tyne, England, in University of Durham; propellers tested were of "Scimitar" design having slight hyperbolic pitch-reduction of 6 1/2% from tip of blades down to crown of boss; nature of phenomenon of cavitation, conditions under which it occurs on back or face of blades, extent and location of cavitation areas, and effect which presence of cavitation has on thrust, torque and efficiency under various conditions of running.
