Abstract: The inception of cavitation on isolated surface irregularities imbedded in a turbulent boundary layer is investigated experimentally and theoretically. Two families of cylindrical roughness elements ...

Abstract: The simultaneous occurrence of vaporous and gaseous cavitation on hydrofoils is considered. The experimental results show that gaseous cavitation occurs at much higher ambient pressures than that ...

Abstract: The theoretical analysis and experiments are presented for desinent (limited) cavitation on hemispherical nosed bodies in water at temperatures from 80 to 260 deg F. The models were 1/4 in. ...

Abstract: Scale effects on limited cavitation discussed in this paper are those departures from the classical similarity relations due to variations in size and velocity. These scale effects are an ...

Abstract: Observations are presented of various types of limited cavitation on 5.1 cm diameter Schiebe, hemispherical, and DTNSRDC noses. These three noses were selected to give various flow states over ...

Abstract: The results of an investigation of thermodynamic effects are presented. Distributions of temperature and pressure in a developed cavity were measured for zero- and quarter-caliber ogives. A ...

Abstract: Earlier desinent cavitation studies on a 1/8 caliber ogive by one of the authors (J. W. H.) showed a sudden change in the magnitude of the desinent cavitation number at a critical velocity. ...
