Systematic tests with supercavitating propellers have been carried out. The results are shown as design charts, performance curves, cavitation limits and empirical corrections of the design method. Influence on the performance of profile modifications, shaft inclination and interaction between propeller, rudder and hull is shown. Cavitation observations and measurements of thrust, torque and pressure fluctuations at model tests are compared with corresponding measurements in full scale.
