Hydrodynamics of Supercavitating Bodies at an Angle of Attacks under Conditions of Considerable Effect of Fluid Weightiness and Closeness of Free Border

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: We present the results of theoretical and experimental studies of flow processes of extended axisymmetric cavitators during motion near a free surface taking into account a considerable effect of fluid weightiness.The main objective of work is to study ways of reduction of fluid weightiness effect using lift at cavitator and other body (hull) elements within a cavity, in order to apply this way of drag reduction for a range of considerably lower motion speeds.
