FLAPPED HYDROFOILS IN SMOOTH WATER SUBCAVITATING FLOW

Abstract

Results of towing-tank tests on a 4-inch chord, 24-inch span, single- strut mounted, plain-flapped hydrofoil model, having an NACA 16-309 wing section, are reported. The hydrofoil model was constructed for tests on four flap sizes. Results are presented in coefficient form. Comparisons are made with aerodynamic data and theory. Results include curves of hydrofoil lift, drag, and pitching moment coefficient; flap normal, and chord force coefficient; hinge moment coefficient; and flap effectiveness.
