Figure 32: Surface Total Pressure Distribution ofa 3·Blade Propeller<br />

Figure 32 displays the total surface pressure, which includes static pressure and dynamic<br />

pressure. Static pressure is affected by water depth, and the equation is p=pgh. Propeller<br />

thrust is provided by the difference pressure between both sides ofblades. Static pressure<br />

on the two sides ofblades is the same, so it doesn't provide thrust. Dynamic pressure is<br />

the difference pressure on propeller blades to provide thrust. Figure 33 displays the<br />

dynamic pressure distribution ofthe propeller.<br />
