A Summary of Experiments on Non-Steady Cavitation: Performed at the Shipbuilding Laboratory of the Technological University of Delft, Netherlands

Abstract

In this work the author recollects his main experiences and conclusions concerning non-steady cavitation experiments. A simple theory is developed, indicating the appearance of an "apparent curvature", which seems to be helpful in the explanation of the occurrence of certain forms of cavitation. Some photographic examples of non-steady cavity flow are given. Some information is given about specific trouble, experienced with the water tunnel and a possible cure is proposed.
