Contribution to Conference
This paper presents the results of the numerical validation and verification studies on an azimuth thruster. The numerical investigations include a grid study as well as an analysis of the simulation results obtained by different isotropic an anisotropic turbulence models, such as k-omega, SST, SAS-SST, BSL-EARSM and DES. The numerical simulation results of selected flow conditions are compared with experimental data. To investigate scale effects on the open water results numerical computations are carried out for a thruster in full- and model scale and the calculated thrust and torque coefficients are compared with model scale simulations and measurements.
