Numerical Simulation of Free Motion of Supercavitating Projectile with Tail Jet

Numerical Investigations of Body Tail Projectile

The unsteady compressible flow around a body tail projectile is numerically solved with a Large Eddy Simulation (LES) method, Smagorinsky-Lilly model was used as the Sub-Grid Scale (SGS). The computed results are obtained in supersonic flow regime for a viscous fluid in order to determine the aerodynamic coefficients with different angles of attack. The flow around a body tail projectile was so...

Computed Transient Supercavitating Flow over a Projectile

To improve the understanding of the unsteady behavior of supercavitating flows, the author used a three-dimensional Navier-Stokes code (CFDRC, 2000) to model the two-phase flow field around a hemisphere cylinder. The governing equations are discretized on a structured grid using an upwind difference scheme. For different body shapes and cavitation numbers, the cavity shape was determined over t...

Motion of a Yawed Supercavitating Wedge Beneath a Free Surface

The problem that is studied concerns a yawed wedge under a free surface, moving at a uniform speed. The model involves a trailing cavity whose boundary is a dividing streamline through the vertex of the wedge. The cavity closure mechanism is described according to the Tulin– Terent’ev single-spiral-vortex model. A closed-form solution to the governing nonlinear boundaryvalue problem is found by...
