Experimental study of the velocity field induced by a propeller jet in an inland-ship model and the related bed scour

The highly turbulent flow induced by ship propellers has a great potential to scour the alluvial bottom of navigational rivers and canals. Characterization of the complex flow field behind propellers is essential for forecasting the scouring action. In this study the velocity field and scour induced...
