How to Calculate and Determine the Impact of CAVITATION on a Marine Propeller Blade???

[Al James at General Atomics]

I'm looking for some information about the following:
How to Calculate and Determine the Impact of CAVITATION on a Marine Propeller Blade???

In particular, what software programs may be used to evaluate this effect numerically. Does anyone have an example to share related to this subject???

I have worked on Cavitation on ship propellers and pumps, but I have not seen any software that you are looking for. I assume you have already done a thorough Internet Search?

Wouldn't you need at least a CFD program to model the cavitation at all, since it's a localized phenomenon?

Many papers on this in google, which I'm not going to trawl through without a better problem definition.
