It was aimed to obtain the open water performance of the propeller with the cavitation tunnel tests of the Turkish Type Frigate developed in the TF2000 Project, to measure the speed at which the designed propeller cavitated with the cavitation tests behind the ship model, the cavitation appearance at high speeds, and noise and hull pressure measurements in different conditions. As a result of the test results, situations requiring improvement were identified and evaluated for optimization.
In this context, model tests of the TF2000 project, which is a defense industry project, were carried out at İTÜKAT. As a result of the experiments, it was seen that the frigate developed met the expectations.
