Abstract: In this paper the results of research into the effect of propeller cavitation on ship-propeller interaction and on vibratory forces induced by the propeller are reviewed. A motivation for the need of a large depressurized towing tank is given. The areas of research in which an experimental penetration by application of such a ‘vacutank’ is possible. are discussed.
