Experimental Study on Reynolds Number Effects in Propeller Open-water Test Using a Large Cavitation Tunnel

This study investigated the effects of Reynolds number (Rn) on Propeller Open-Water (POW) test results for the KP458 propeller (P/D = 0.7) using the Hanwha Ocean Cavitation Tunnel (HOCT). Tests were conducted under five Reynolds number conditions ranging from 0.35×10⁶ to 1.25×10⁶...
