Abstract: A study of ventilated supercavitation in the reentrant jet regime has been carried out in the highspeed water tunnel at St. Anthony Falls Laboratory as the hydrodynamics part of an interdisciplinary study on stability and ...

Abstract: A ventilated supercavity consists of a large, gasfilled bubble enveloped around an underwater vehicle that allows for significant drag reduction and increases in vehicle speed. Previous studies at the Saint Anthony Falls ...

Abstract: We conducted a numerical simulation of ventilated supercavitation from a forward-facing cavitator in unsteady flows generated by a gust generator under different gust angles of attack and gust frequencies. The numerical ...

Abstract: A numerical study has been conducted on the internal pressure distribution of a ventilated supercavity generated from a backward facing cavitator under different air entrainment coefficients, Froude numbers, and blockage ...
