In this study, the self-propulsion performance of a ship model with double-L-type podded propulsors was predicted. Additionally, a conversion method for the performance of a full-scale ship was established based on the correction method published by the International Towing Tank Conference (ITTC) for the scaling effect of a single podded propeller and research reports on pod tests conducted by different ship research institutes. The thrust deduction and wake fraction of the ship were also analyzed. Furthermore, the self-propulsion performance of a full-scale ship with double L-type pods was determined, the full- and model-scale ships compared in terms of their flow fields and pressure charts, and the influence of the scaling effect analyzed. In addition, the calculation results were compared with the conversion results of a full-scale ship, and the reliability of the method adopted for the performance estimation of a full-scale ship with double podded propulsors was verified. The findings reported herein can provide statistics and technical support for the design of L-type podded propulsors and their application in full-scale ships, which are of theoretical significance and practical value in the engineering domain.

In this study, the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) method and a model experimental test in a towing tank are used to investigate the unsteady hydrodynamic performance of L-type podded propulsion under different oblique flow angles and advance coefficients. The results show that the load of the operative propeller increases with oblique flow angle and the bracket adds resistance to the pod due to the impact of water flow, leading to a reduced propeller thrust coefficient with increased oblique flow angle. Under a high advance coefficient, the speed of increase of the pressure effect is higher than that of the viscosity effect, and the propeller efficiency increases with the oblique flow angle. The nonuniformity of the inflow results in varying degrees of asymmetry in the horizontal and vertical distributions of the propeller blade pressure. Under high oblique flow angle, relatively strong interference effects are seen between venting vortexes and the cabin after blades, leading to a disorderly venting vortex system after the blade. The numerical simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental values. The study findings provide a foundation for further research on L-type podded propulsors. Full article
