Control of Supercavitation Flow and Stability of Supercavitating Motion of Bodies

Abstract

Control of the supercavity parameters is necessary for maintenance of calculated regime of the supercavitation flow in unsteady conditions: at changing the velocity and depth of the body motion. The problem of cavitation flow control includes the two problems connected among themselves: I)the control of cavity dimensions; II) the control of forces on a cavitating body. We consider sequentially both problems.
