Abstract
Preliminary results of a series of model scale propeller
experiments are presented. A large (0270mm) model of a
highly skewed controllable pitch propeller was tested in both
open water and ice covered water in the ice tank at the Institute
for Marine Dynamics. Both the open water and ice experiments
were done at four different pitch settings, each over a range of
advance coefficient. The ice strength and the depth cut into the
ice by the propeller were varied in the ice tests. The main aims
of the experiments were to measure the effects of these
variables on blade loads, in addition to their effects on shaft
loads. Shaft loads were measured using conventional
dynamometry. Loads on one blade were measured using a hubmounted
blade dynamometer designed and built for these tests.
The blade dynamometer is described and some preliminary
shaft and blade load measurements are presented and discussed.
