The linearized treatment of the flow over a partially cavitating single hydrofoil having a flat pressure surface and a circular-arc suction side is presented. The flow is treated as a two-dimensional, steady, inviscid flow. Further assumptions made are those of incompressibility and irrotationality. The results obtained are compared with experiment and generally good correlation is found for th...

The purposes of this manuscript were to discuss the propelling hydrodynamics in human tethered swimming, and its application to strength evaluation and to approach power-time limit model (P-tLim) in tethered-crawl (PuTeth-tLim). Physiological and mechanical characteristics of tethered and free swimming have shown to be very similar, and thus tethered swimming is a reliable condition for evaluat...

As one of the typical negative factors affecting vortex structure and flow characteristics hydraulic machinery, TLV has a non-negligible impact on energy performance. In order to improve utilization efficiency machinery in marine energy, parallel grooves is proposed applied NACA0009 hydrofoil. Subsequently, an exhaustive numerical analysis carried out adopting SST k-ω turbulence model, effects ...

In the present paper, restricted cavitation bubble dynamics near a symmetric Joukowsky hydrofoil are researched theoretically and experimentally. Using Kelvin impulse theory, transformation, circle theorem, theoretical model for is established to analyze collapse jet characteristics. The validity of this then verified using high-speed photographic experiments. velocity direction at specific pos...

The present paper contains the test results of a planing catamaran model. The aim of the tests was to study the effect of hydrofoil in these types of crafts. First, experiments were carried out on the bare body (i.e. without hydrofoils) to obtain non-dimensional hydrodynamic resistance coefficient versus speed. Then, the model with hydrofoils, by various locations and attack angles were subject...

In this study, the boundary element method is formulated to evaluate hydrodynamic characteristics of bodies including free surface effect. The method is based on two equations, the perturbation potential boundary integral and the pressure Kutta condition, which are solved simultaneously. The method uses isoparametric elements for both quantity and geometric on the boundary. The method is first ...

Experimental studies of the influence fluid–structure interaction on cloud cavitation about a stiff stainless steel (SS) and flexible composite (CF) hydrofoil have been presented in Parts I (Smith et al. , J. Fluid Mech. vol. 896, 2020 p. A1) II 897, b A28). This work further analyses data complements measurements with reduced-order model predictions to explain complex response. A two degrees-o...
