Resistance and propulsion 71<br />

limited to the propeller plane. The local velocities were traditionally measured<br />

by pitot tubes. Currently, Laser-Doppler velocimetry also allows non-intrusive<br />

measurements of the flow field. The results are usually displayed as contour<br />

lines of the longitudinal component of the velocity (Fig. 3.6). These data play<br />

an important role in the design of a propeller. For optimizing the propeller<br />

pitch as a function of the radial distance from the hub, the wake fraction is<br />

computed as a function of this radial distance by integrating the wake in the<br />

circumferential direction:<br />

The resistance of the hull is decomposed as:<br />

RT D RF C RR<br />

RF is the frictional resistance, RR the residual resistance. Usually the resistance<br />

forces are expressed as non-dimensional coefficients of the form:<br />
