EVALUATION OF PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION ON A CAVITATING HYDROFOIL WITH FLAP

Abstract

A general method is established to calculate the pressure distribution and the moment of force for a two-dimensional, supercavitating hydrofoil with a flap. The wake flow model is adopted to describe the configuration of the flow field. Some numerical results for a supercavitating flat plate with a flap are compared with the corresponding experimental data.
