Supercavitating Flows (les Ecoulements supercavitants)

Abstract

The Lecture Series organized by NATO-RTO and VKI dealt with high speed hydrodynamics and the flow condition of supercavitation. This refers to the generation of large cavities around wetted bodies. Treated were theory, experiment and computation of: - Supercavitating Motion, - Variational Methods in Cavitational Flow, - Independence of the Cavity Sections, - Logvinovich's principle, - Nonlinear Supercavitating Flows, - Artificial Supercavitation, - Dynamic Processes of Supercavitation, - Oscillations of Ventilated Cavities, - Cavity Dynamics, - Multiphase CFD Modelling, - Control of Supercavitation Flow, - Stability of Supercavitating Motion, - Supercavities in Compressible Fluid, - Supercavitating Object Propulsion, - Small Perturbation Theory, - Supercavitating 2-D and 3-D Hydrofoils, - Supercavitating Propellers. Unfortunately only 15 of the original 18 presentations were available for print.
