Abstract
This paper presents the outcome of a research to evaluate the effect of size on the propulsive performance of podded propulsors in cavitating and non-cavitating open water conditions. Two cases are examined, namely: propeller-only case and pod-unit case. In the propeller-only case, a commercial propeller dynamometer is used to measure the thrust and torque of two propellers of different size at the four quadrants of propellers with varied shaft and flow speeds. Also, both propellers are tested at different tunnel pressure to study and compare the behaviour under similar cavitation conditions. In the pod-unit case, two geometrically similar but different sized pod-units are tested using two separate custom-made pod dynamometer systems in two towing tank facilities in straight-ahead and static azimuthing conditions. The study showed that the performance characteristics stabilize at lower Reynolds Number for the smaller propeller than the larger propeller. The propulsive performance of the two propellers was comparable in the four-quadrant experiments. Also, the experiments at the cavitating conditions showed that the cavitation characteristics of the two propellers were consistent at corresponding operating conditions. The experiment results of the two pod-units were also comparable for forces and moments in the three coordinate directions in the straight-ahead and static azimuthing conditions. A brief discussion on the uncertainty assessments for each of the measurements is also presented.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
