Numerical Analysis of 2-D and 3-D Cavitating Hydrofoils Under a Free Surface

摘要

A method which models two- or three-dimensional cavitating hydrofoils moving with constant speed under a free surface is described. An integral equation is obtained by applying Green's theorem on all surfaces of the fluid domain. This integral equation is divided into two parts: (I) the cavitating hydrofoil problem, and (ii) the free-surface problem.
