#QuickTake: Why is tip speed one of the criteria used for propeller cavitation? Damaging and noisy blade cavitation (known as "back cavitation") occurs on the suction side of the blade and is a function of thrust loading. High thrust leads to low pressure, and if this low pressure falls below the water’s vapor pressure, a cavitation vapor volume forms. (Some amount of cavitation always exists; it is the generation and collapse of a large cavitation volume is the real problem.) Tip speed is an indicator for the inception of "tip cavitation," which is fairly benign but is typically the first type of cavitation to appear. So, it serves as a useful threshold for the potential inception of the more damaging blade back cavitation. [Image courtesy of Australian Maritime College].

Steady crosswinds on conductors at a 45° angle of attack create lift of the high voltage transmission line. When lift is greater than drag, conductors will become unstable and gallop vertically. Studies have shown that as little as 10° twist of a conductor wire can bring stability to an unstable span. AR dampers reduce predicted peak galloping of amplitudes by 52-72%.

Centrifugal propeller In a normal propeller, the blade is perpendicular to the direction of rotation. The speed of the wing tip is limited by the speed of sound. However, the wing can be shaped in such a way that the profile of the wing is parallel to the radius. As the wing rotates, the viscosity tends to grab the air outside the wing with it, and the air leaves the wing's circumference at high speed. Suction is created from the center of the wing to the edges, and when the flow velocity is different on the upper and lower surface of the wing, lift is created. If the viscosity is not enough to move the air, the wing can be shaped with radial lamellas or air deflectors that compress the air into the flow. Would someone like to test the functionality of the concept in practice?
