Pennings, P.C. (author)This thesis describes the mechanisms with which tip vortex cavitation is responsible for broadband pressure fluctuations on ship propellers. Hypotheses for these are described in detail by Bosschers (2009). Validation is provided by three main cavitation-tunnel experiments, one on a model propeller and two on a stationary wing. These have...doctoral thesis 2016

Pennings, P.C. (author), Westerweel, J. (author), Van Terwisga, T.J.C. (author)The goal of this study is to test the hypothesis that the resonance of a tip vortex cavity is responsible for high-amplitude broadband pressure-fluctuations, typically between 40 and 70 Hz,Hz, for a full scale propeller. This is achieved with a model propeller in a cavitation tunnel. Simultaneous high-speed video shadowgraphy and sound...journal article 2016

Pennings, P.C. (author), Bosschers, J. (author), Westerweel, J. (author), Van Terwisga, T.J.C. (author)The dynamic behaviour of vortex cavitation on marine propellers may cause inboard noise and vibration, but is not well understood. The main goal of the present study is to experimentally analyse the dynamics of an isolated tip vortex cavity generated at the tip of a wing of elliptical planform. Detailed high-speed video shadowgraphy was used to...journal article 2015

Schot, J.J.A. (author), Pennings, P.C. (author), Pourquie, M.J.B.M. (author), Van Terwisga, T.J.C. (author)In this paper modelling assumptions for the prediction of tip vortex flow and vortex cavitation with the RANS equations and homogeneous fluid approach in Open-FOAM are presented. The effects of the changes in the turbulence model are investigated and the results are compared with PIV measurements.conference paper 2014
