FLAPPED HYDROFOILS IN WAVES, SUBCAVITATING FLOW

Abstract

Tank test data are reported for a rectangular flapped hydrofoil mounted to the carriage by a single strut. Tests were carried out separately with flaps oscillating in smooth water, flaps fixed in regular waves, and then various combinations of conditions with flaps oscillating in regular waves. The separate effects of flap and wave on the force and moment coefficients for the hydrofoil were obtained, and compared with the results when both flap and wave were cycled together.
