Sažetak

A numerical study is conducted to determine the hydrodynamic coupling characteristics of a contra-rotating azimuth propulsor (CRAP) in open-water conditions. The detached-eddy simulation (DES) method is utilized to run simulations. A grid verification is conducted and the numerical results are validated based on a puller-type podded propeller. The hydrodynamic forces (i.e., thrusts and torques) are in accordance with the experimental data. The validated numerical method is utilized for subsequent CRAP simulations. The hydrodynamic performance and hydrodynamic coupling characteristics of CRAP are quantitatively analyzed according to forward propeller (FP), rear propeller (RP), and pod unit (PU) indicators with special focus on the hydrodynamic forces and the corresponding unsteadiness. PU appears to have essentially the same effect on the hydrodynamic performance of FP and RP. RP has a weak effect on the hydrodynamic performance of FP, while FP intensely affects that of RP. In general, the CRAP unsteadiness is dominated by RP, especially under heavy loading conditions.
