Executive Summary :

This study aims to estimate the hydro-elastic performance analysis of a composite marine propeller in uniform and non-uniform flow conditions. The investigation will be carried out numerically and experimentally using CFD-FEM coupling and towing tank open water experiments. The proposed study shall cater in developing design rules and code books for the manufacturing and installation of the composite marine propeller.
