For the Heesen 47m series we have analysed the flow around the shaft line by means of CFD. The aim of the analysis was to determine the influence of a working propeller on the alignment of the struts of the shaft brackets. The propeller was modelled by a so called actuator disk. With the use of our CFD code we were able to determine the orientation of the struts.
