Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Home Courses Cavitation on Ship Propellers Subjects

This course on cavitation is a compilation of topics which have been taught at Delft University in the department of Naval Architecture. The course has been expanded using many years of experimental and full scale experience at Marin (Maritime Institute Netherlands) in Wageningen. The focus is therefore on ship propellers, although cavitation occurs in a wide range of technical applications.

An electronic course like this one is well suited for video, and this option has been used frequently in the course. Although the videos are embedded in the pdf-files of the reader’s chapters, it is necessary to download zip-files which contain pdfs as well as the corresponding videos. Every chapter is also directly readable as preview on the website (the videos are shown separately on the right, if applicable).
