Based on the solving method of RANS equation,the numerical calculation of the open-water and cavitation performance of PPTC highly skewed propeller is carried out in this paper. The open-water calculation of PPTC propeller is made by two different equations,and the calculation results agree well with the test results published by the SVA. Then selecting the RNG k-ε turbulence model with relative better performance for the grid independent verification calculation. According to the cavitation test results published by the SVA,a typical cavitation state is selected to simulate(J=1.019,=2.024),and the calculation results show that a steady sheet cavitation can be observed at the blade,which basically conforms to the experimental observations. Then the calculation results are analyzed and compared with other relative data.
