... mode. To compute the hydrodynamic performance, a three-dimensional (3D) potential-based boundary element method (BEM) is presented. The BEM is able to predict complex cavitation patterns and blade forces on fully submerged and partially submerged propellers in subcavitating, partially cavitating, fully...

...G. F. Dargush; M. M. Grigoriev Most recently, we have developed a novel multilevel boundary element method (MLBEM) for steady Stokes flows in irregular two-dimensional domains (Grigoriev, M.M., and Dargush, G.F., Comput. Methods. Appl. Mech. Eng., 2005). The multilevel algorithm permitted boundary...

... map of the propeller cavitating behavior is established. Measurements are compared to numerical results obtained using an inviscid flow boundary element method for the analysis of blade partial sheet cavitation and supercavitation. The effect of the trailing wake vorticity on the prediction...

...V. Esfahanian; M. Behbahani-nejad An approach to developing a general technique for constructing reduced-order models of unsteady flows about three-dimensional complex geometries is presented. The boundary element method along with the potential flow is used to analyze unsteady flows over two...

...C. Pozrikidis The accuracy of boundary-element methods for computing Stokes flow past boundaries with sharp corners where singularities occur is discussed. To resolve the singular behavior, a graded mesh of boundary elements whose length increases in a geometrical fashion with respect to distance...

...Yin L. Young, Doctoral Graduate Student; Spyros A. Kinnas, Associate Professor A boundary element method (BEM) is used for the numerical analysis of sheet cavitation on a propeller subjected to the non-axisymmetric wakes of marine vehicles. This method is extended in order to treat mixed partial...
