The radiation noise generated by cavitation has been extensively studied for underwater target recognition, but there are few reports on the related mechanism of the cavitation noise of ship propellers that attract attention in the field of hydroacoustics. In this paper, the RANS equations of the underwater propeller wake field are constructed, and numerically solved by combining the cavitation model and the turbulence model. The power spectrum is used to analyze the signal of the numerical calculation results of the propeller wake pressure. The feature estimation and extraction are carried out to obtain the characteristic values of the specific characteristic parameters. These eigenvalues not only reflect the flow field characteristics but also the geometric parameters and working conditions of the propeller. Therefore, two models are established around the relationship between them. Firstly, these eigenvalues are used for regression analysis in multivariate statistics to obtain a statistical model reflecting the characteristics of propeller cavitation wake. Secondly, the relationship between the propeller skew angle and the low frequency linear spectrum amplitude is obtained by using the power spectrum diagram. In this paper, the processing results of the experimental data of the cavitation water tunnel with controllable parameters and the radiation noise data of the actual target are used to verify and supplement each other with the processing results of the feature model.
