| The cavitation tunnel was designed and manufactured by Kempf & Remmers GmbH in 1982. KRISO cavitation tunnel has two measuring sections. More than 600 model propulsors have been tested including conventional propeller, high-skew propeller, contra-rotating propeller(CRP), ducted propeller, controllable pitch propeller(CPP), preswirl stator propeller, pump jet propulsion, waterjet propulsion, hydraulic pump, trans-cavitating propeller, and water turbine, etc. |
