Dominis-Small Propeller Defects Can Result in Increased Underwater Radiated Noise

Dominis-Small Propeller Defects Can Result in Increased Underwater Radiated Noise

A Canada Transport-funded study on the impact of manufacturing tolerances on propeller performance – carried out by Memorial University of Newfoundland, DRDC Atlantic Research Centre, and propeller manufacturer Dominis Engineering – found the slightest change in propeller geometry resulted in “significant” cavitation, and much earlier than previously thought...
