Analysis of Wake Survey for Tunnel-Fin and Accelerating-Fin Configurations for the Naval Auxiliary Oiler AO-177 Represented by Model 5326-1
1981
Hampton, Gary A.
Wake survey experiments were conducted with Model 5326-1 to aid in the identification and resolution of the propeller cavitation and airborne noise problem experienced by the Auxiliary Oiler AO-177 and to validate possible remedies. The experimental program involved the evaluation of three tunnel-fin configurations and one accelerating-fin configuration fitted to the stern of the model. The results of the wake survey experiments show that the flow into the propeller plane was improved by the addition of any of the four fins.
