[0002] The ship propulsion system is one of three core components of the ship power system, in the ship propulsion process, the propeller converts the power delivered by the main engine into thrust, and acts on the water current through the propeller to generate the reaction force to make the ship move. However, due to the cavitation phenomenon of the propeller, a cavitation area is formed, when the ship speed reaches a certain value, the pressure in the cavitation area is lower than the air separation pressure, which causes the bubbles to collapse and release a large amount of energy, thereby damaging the propeller and affecting the propeller efficiency. At the same time, the noise generated by the propeller mainly comes from the propeller blade tip and the cavitation area, and with the increase of the speed, the noise generated by the propeller also gradually increases, thereby causing the propeller noise pollution to intensify.
