A modified correlation approach is introduced and deduced to analyze the unsteady thrust problem of propeller in turbulence. Based on the traditional method
the modified correlation approach considered the effect of distortion of turbulent eddies resulting from the pumping action of propeller and introduced stretched coefficients in three directions. The propeller thrust spectrum function in uniform and non-uniform turbulence conditions are deduced. The results show that
for uniform turbulence
ten-bladed propeller model is suggested and the modified correlation approach has a better agreement with the experimental results
especially at blade frequency. For non-uniform turbulence
the prerotation vane installed in front of the propeller has no effect on the position of the peak in thrust spectrum
and the peak position depends on the blade frequency.
