摘要：During maneuvers, propellers’ operation differs from their design due to strong modification of the wake field with respect to the straight-ahead motion. The consequent modification of the loads overstresses the mechanical components of the shaftline, exacerbates propeller side effects and worsens overall efficiency. Therefore, the analysis of these situations in the early design phase is pivotal to increase the operation capabilities and safety at sea. This task relies on novel tools capable to accurately predict the complex flow field that develops past the hull and the propeller loads. Since the solution of the fully coupled problem with the rotating propeller by viscous flow solver is impractical for routine applications, hybrid approaches are a viable alternative. In this paper, an interactive RANSE/BEM methodology is presented, where the propeller is replaced by rotating body forces that map the actual loading state of the blades, allowing a fully unsteady analysis of hull–propeller interaction. The methodology is applied to the straight ahead and 8.4° pure drift motions of a twin screw propulsive configuration. Last, but not least, the study presents a validation study with accurate experimental data of the nominal wake field and single blade loads.
