The wake fields between model and full-scale show differences because of the underlying physics. In model-scale the boundary layer is thicker relative to full-scale and the bilge vortex more pronounced. This results in differences in the inflow to the propeller between model and ship, which should be considered when designing the propeller. Through the use of numerical methods, the wake field can be calculated for both the model and the ship. Thus it is possible, already while designing the ship lines, to evaluate the wake field and the influence of geometry modifications or appendages. Further, the wake field can be made available for propeller design.<\/p>\n

The numerical simulations offer the following advantages:<\/p>\n
