A while ago, we measured propeller flow on a real tanker using PIV, and now it's time to repeat these measurements in model scale under exactly the same conditions - speeds and draughts. We're conducting these model tests and PIV flow measurements at the famous Hamburgische Schiffbau-Versuchsanstalt GmbH - Hamburg Ship Model Basin (HSVA).
We can't wait to compare the PIV wake flow results obtained from the model scale and ship scale cases.
Stay tuned for more updates on our progress.
