In the present study the viscous flows around a wide varieties of propellers geometries are simulated. The solution method of the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations is based on the conservative finite volume method CFX-TASCflow. A method for the efficient generation of blocks structured hexahedra grids around marine propellers is developed. Numerical results were presented for different conventional and high skew propellers. The viscous flow around a ship-propeller-configuration is investigated. The space discretisation is based on a block-structured finite volume grid around the ship and the five blades of the propeller. Results are presented for the series S60 ship with rotating propeller.
