Abstract: A nonlinear exact theory to investigate a steady two-dimensional supercavitating flow past a cascade of arbitrarily shaped blades is presented. The solutions obtained by numerically solving a ...

Abstract: A singular perturbation method is used to analyze the flow past a linear cascade of thin supercavitating hydrofoils which have rounded leading edges. This consists essentially of correcting the ...

Abstract: The wind energy existing at high altitude has been investigated as a potential energy resource in the United States. In terms of the average power density, it can be as high as 16 KW/m2 ...

Abstract: Practical supercavitating hydrofoils have rounded leading edges for mechanical strength. The prediction of pressures near the leading edge of such hydrofoils by linearized free-streamline theory ...

Abstract: Unsteady cavitation characteristics are analyzed based on a closed cavity model in which the length of the cavity is allowed to oscillate. It is shown that the present model blends smoothly ...
