This project is the beginning of an effort to develop a general method for computing the effect of the propeller on the flow around the stern of surface ships, by treating the propeller as a body force when using a Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) code to compute the hull flow. The body force is a time average value that varies in the circumferential and radial directions across the propeller disk. An algorithm is shown for iterating between the propeller force calculation and the RANS wake calculation. The propeller force is computed using an unsteady lifting surface code and a RANS calculated nominal wake. The test case is the FF1052 Fleet propeller. Calculations were compared to measurements for both open water and behind hull using the RANS calculated wake. The sensitivity of the calculated forces to grid size and other input parameters was determined. The variation in unsteady loading on the blades is shown.
