Vorticity Fr=0.4 =6
Bilge vortex features Roll up of the hull boundary layer Vorticity snapshot Average over 500 images
Bilge vortex intensity Γ = ds The strength of the keel vortices is larger in the leeward demihull and tends to increase as the Froude number reduces and the drift angle increases. The strength ratio between the windward and the leeward vortices ranges from 0.80 to 0.90. 10 th INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON PARTICLE IMAGE VELOCIMETRY PIV13 Delft, The Netherlands, July 1-3, 2013

Tomographic reconstruction Propellers as a reliable and efficient tool to generate thrust in aeronautical and marine propulsion systems. The comprehension about the hydrodynamic phenomena is still incomplete and a number of questions still open. The flow in the wake of a marine propeller is characterized by complex unsteady three-dimensional coherent structures generated at the blades and the hub that, mutually interacting, are destabilized and destroyed far downstream. Tomo-PIV represents a well assessed and attractive tool for the investigation of fully three dimensional turbulent and unsteady flows, such as the wake of a propeller.
