Abstract
The diffuser stern is part of a design concept from Damen and the TU delft: the interceptor diffuser. This concept aims to improve the seakeeping behavior of fast ships in waves. With PIV measurements, a contribution to the development of the diffuser stern is made. The flow acceleration and detachment are studied, and a comparison with a CFD pre-study from Damen is made.
