Abstract: The performance characteristics of supercavitating flapped foils in cascade, (such as the lift coefficient, the drag-lift ratio, and the limiting inlet flow speed) are calculated, for various ...

Abstract: An accurate theory which included the following two methods was developed concerning the flow through an arbitrary form supercavitating hydrofoil: (i) A method by which to obtain the hydrofoil ...

Abstract: The flow around an arbitrary supercavitating, jet-flapped hydrofoil operating at an arbitrary submergence is analyzed by a second order theory and the following results are obtained; (i) The ...

Abstract: An “accurate” analysis based on momentum theorem is proposed for finite cavity cascade foils of arbitrary shape. Some numerical results are given which show that (i) In the existing cascade ...

Abstract: In order to clarify whether a separation bubble always plays an important role, the desinence of streamer-cavitation, a kind of attached-cavitation, was carefully investigated in typical internal ...

Abstract: In order to clarify the role of cavitation nuclei upon inception, the behavior of inception was carefully investigated in an extremely limited water flow through very small orifices less than ...

Abstract: The cavitation behavior and the shock pressure were experimentally investigated in dilute aqueous solutions of polymer flowing through an orifice, and the following facts were observed: (i) Very ...

Abstract: The behavior of supercavitation as well as of cavitation, especially near the separation point, were carefully observed in a two-dimensional subcritical flow around a cylinder with and without ...

Abstract: The object of this paper is to investigate the effects of cavitation on the discharge coefficient of sharp-edged orifice plates with reference to various degrees of cavitation as defined by a ...
