Characteristic Analysis of Supercavitating Three Dimensional Hydrofoil between Parallel Walls

A Simple Approach to Estimating Three-Dimensional Supercavitating Flow Fields

A simple method is formulated for predicting three-dimensional supercavitating flow behind cavitators subject to gravitational acceleration and motion of the cavitator. The method applies slenderbody theory in the context of matched asymptotic expansions to pose an inner problem for the cavity evolution downstream from the locus of cavity detachment. This inner problem is solved by means of a c...

Observations of Cavitation on a Three-dimensional Oscillating Hydrofoil

A test apparatus was designed and constructed to observe the effect of sinusoidal pitching oscillations on the cavitation of thredimensional hydrofoils. The apparatus is capable of oscillating hydrofoils at a rate up to 50 Hz and provides for adjustments in oscillation amplitude and mean angle of attack. Observations of the effect of pitching oscillation on cavitation have been made for a NACA ...

Three-dimensional characteristic approach for incompressible thermo-flows and influence of artificial compressibility parameter

In this paper the characteristics of unsteady three-dimensional incompressible flows with heat transfer are obtained along with artificial compressibility of Chorin. At first, compatibility equations and pseudo characteristics for three-dimensional flows are derived from five governing equations (continuity equation, Momentum equations in three directions, and energy equation) and then results ...

Polymers confined between two parallel plane walls.

Single three-dimensional polymers confined to a slab, i.e., to the region between two parallel plane walls, are studied by Monte Carlo simulations. They are described by N-step walks on a simple cubic lattice confined to the region 1< or = z < or = D. The simulations cover both regions D<>RF (where RF approximately Nnu is the Flory radius, with nu approximately 0.587), as well as the ...
