Abstract
A three-dimensional boundary element method is used for the numerical modeling of supercavitating propellers subjected to nonaxisymmetric in†ow. The method has been developed in the past for the prediction of unsteady sheet cavitation for conventional propellers. To allow for the treatment of supercavitating propellers, the method is extended to model the separated flow behind trailing edges with nonzero thickness. The convergence of the method is studied. Results from numerical validation, as well as comparisons of predictions with experimental measurements, are provided.
