Abstract: Cavitation inception on an E817 hydrofoil issued from an inverse calculus for ideal fluid has been numerically analyzed for speeds and scales inherent to both model test and full-scale marine ...

Abstract: Friction on a surface covered by an air cavity is much less than friction in water but there is a resistance penalty caused by the cavity tail oscillations. Nevertheless, there is a method ...

Abstract: An experimental study of air supply to bottom cavities stabilized within a recess under a horizontal surface has been carried out in a specially designed water tunnel. The air supply necessary ...
