The present study includes experimental and numerical investigations on propeller cavitation phenomena, particularly the tip vortex cavitation, for the test cases conducted with the model propeller of the Newcastle University research vessel, "The Princess Royal". These test cases were recommended recently as the benchmark data for cavitation observations and noise measurements by the ITTC, and have been tested in a major round-robin campaign by eight cavitation tunnel/basin facilities around the world. This round-robin test campaign included the Newcastle Emerson Cavitation Tunnel where the first set of tests was conducted.
