Abstract

We use lattice Boltzmann unsteady simulations to investigate the pressure and skin friction distribution around propeller blades featuring serrations either at the leading edge or at the trailing edge. Then we look at their overall performance and the vorticity in the neighborhood of serrations. Next to a baseline blade, six serrated geometries with different serrations amplitude and wavelength are analyzed.
