The motions and the lonKitudinal hull bending moments that a 

 destmyer of the DD 692 Class is expected to experience over a wide 

 range of operating conditions are presented in statistical form. Criteria 

 are derived for use in design and operational problems.

The flow generated on an infinite plane I 

 propeller rotating on a shaft parallel to the plan 

 is first considered. The vibratory forces of thi; 

 systems are discussed for conditions of uniform 



iingle-bladed 



system and multiblade 

 nd nonuniform inflow. 



Breslin, J. P., "The Pressure Field near a Ship Propel- 

 ler," Journal of Ship Research, Vol. 1, No, 4, March 1958. 



A brief summary is given of efforts in the field of naval archi- 

 tecture on the problem of determining the vibratory forces and moments 

 produced by a ship propeller, and an account of the principle contribu- 

 tion made by aeronautical researchers on the problem of computing the 

 fluctuating pressure field near a propeller. Some characteristics of 

 the pressure field are discussed briefly.

 Technology, ETT Report 609, 1956. 



Forces on a flat plate were calculated in a unifonn flow when 

 a single-line vortex passed the plate. The calculations were for the 

 two-dimensional problem. Results show that clearances behind the 

 vortex are not as important as clearances ahead of the vortex, or 

 clearances between hull and propeller are more significant than those 

 between propeller and rudder,

This paper presents a study of the blade-frequency presaure 

 and velocity field near ship prop'ellers, the forces that induf e vibration 

 of nearby surfaces and structures, and the cyclic variations of the 

 thrust and torque developed by propellers, operating in a variable flow 

 field at the stem of ships.

This paper presents the blade-frequency pressure field of a 

 propeller as a function of torque and thrust loading, and blade thickness 

 effects. The latter had not been accounted for previously. Theoretical 

 results are compared to experimental results. 



Breslin, J. P. and Tsakonas, S,, "The Blade Frequency 

 Velocity Field near an Operating Marine Propeller Due to 

 Loading and Thickness Effects," Sixth Annual Conference 

 on Fluid Mechanics, University of Texas, 1959. 



The velocity fluctuations due to loading and blade thickness 

 effects at any point in the vicinity of a propeller operating in open 

 water conditions in an incompressible ideal fluid are determined. 

 Broad conclusions are drawn as to the relative magnitudes of the 

 contributions of each of the elements to the various velocity components. 

 The blade thickness effect on the pressure and velocity fields is shown 

 to be of primary importance.
