Introduction
\Vitli the increase of power anti/or speed of
mod-ern ships, it has become necessary to develop the
design diagrams of propellers of large blade area. Authors of this article intended to conduct a further systematic testing work with the AU-type four-, five-and six-bladed propeller models having a large area ratio.
In this article, the authors present results of the
open water tests and the /Bp_ type and handy
type design diagrams.

Model Propellers and Open Water Tests
Principal particulars of the model propellers used in open water tests are given in the table shown at the end of this article.
The general plan of model propellers is shown in
Figs. I a) , lb) and Ic) . Fig. I a) shows the plan of the four-bladed propellers of area ratio 0.70, which is
called as AU4 70 series. Fig. lb) shows the ))lafl
of the five-bladed propellers of area ratio 0.80, which is called as AU5-80 series. And, Fig. lc) shows the plan of the six-bladed propellers of area ratio 0.85, which is called as AUw 6-85.

The open water tests were carried out in Mejiro No. 2 Experimcut Tank ac-cording to tue ordinary practice of Sl1i1)btiil(liilg Research Genti-e. To ob-tain the net thrust, the correction for the resistance
of the screw hub was applied for
the measured thrust at various SpCe(IS of advance.1. i. 1. 0. 0.7 0.6 0.8 .8 0.7 LU ° 0.6 0.5 0.4

Test Results and Design Diagrams
Results of tests are shown in Figs. 2a) and 2b) -Tice .,/B7-ó type design diagrams obtained from
tue tests are shown in Figs. 3a) , b) and 3c) . In
these diagrams, the metric units are used, antI the density of sea water is assumed as 104.51 kg sec2/m4.

The handy type design diagrams are prepared for
easy calculation of the principal dimensions and
efficiency of tise propeller, anti they are given in Figs. 4a) and -lb). Figs. 5a) and Sb), and Figs. 6a) and fib) . From these figures, we can easily obtain tise di-ameter. pitch ratio and propeller efficiency by using a
given delivered horsepower, and revolutions and advance speed of the propeller.
