Abstract: A supercavitating hydrofoil experiment is performed at the MIT Variable Pressure water tunnel, at several angles of attack and cavitation numbers. The velocity is measured on a rectangular contour ...

Abstract: A boundary element method is used to predict the time-dependent cavitation on a propeller subject to nonaxisymmetric inflow. The convergence of the method is studied. The predicted cavities agree ...

Abstract: A ducted propeller model was tested in the MIT water tunnel. A hub apparatus was designed which allowed for the duct and propeller forces to be measured separately. The forces on the duct ...
