HYDROMECHANICS CAVITATION RESEARCH FACILITIES AND TECHNIQUES IN USE AT THE DAVID TAYLOR MODEL BASIN.

Abstract

The paper briefly describes hydromechanics cavitation research facilities and the testing techniques used when conducting cavitation tests at the David Taylor Model Basin. Facilities for testing scale models of ship propellers, foils and submerged bodies range from the variable pressure water tunnels to the high speed basin with its associated towing carriages and propeller dynamometers. Subcavitating, supercavitating and ventilated model tests are discussed. (Author)
