HYDROELASTIC EFFECTS ON THE LIFT OF HIGH SPEED HYDROFOILS

Abstract

A method is presented by which the effects of elasticity (twist and change in chordwise shape) on the lift of a flexible supercavitating hydrofoil with known elastic properties may be calculated. This method is then used to calculate the lift on four hydrofoils and a comparison is made with the lift measured in the Grumman Whirl Tank. (Author)
