An analysis of propeller-induced pressure pulses under non-cavitating condition using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations was conducted. The propeller-hull interactions and the resulting propeller-induced pressure pulses were predicted. Numerical simulations were performed using the StarCCM+ software, using three turbulence models: SST k-ω, Realizable k − ǫ and Elliptic Blending Reynolds Stress Model (EB-RSM). It is concluded that the EB-RSM predicts pressure amplitudes much closer to the experimental data than the other turbulence models.enhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/URANSmodel bulk carriernon-cavitating propellerpropeller-induced pressure pulsationsexperimental validationEngineering and Applied OperationsConference Paper10.15480/882.935010.15480/882.935010.15480/882.9294Conference Paper
