Abstract: In this paper, analytical solutions are derived for the case when an elastic waterbacked plate (WBP) is subject to an exponential shock loading near a fixed solid boundary. Two cases, a rigid plate and an elastic plate ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to apply combined experimental and computational modeling to investigate unsteady sheet/cloud cavitating flows. In the numerical simulations, a filterbased density corrected model (FBDCM) is ...

Abstract: Traditionally, designers of marine propulsors select a discrete number of critical design points for which to optimize the propulsor geometry. The design procedure carefully weighs the needs to be fuel efficient, to minimize ...

Abstract: Despite recent extensive research into fluid–structure interaction (FSI) of cavitating hydrofoils, there remain insufficient experimental data to explain many of the observed phenomena. The cloud cavitation behavior around ...
