Experiments On Gravity Effects in Supercavitating Flow

Abstract

Experiments on the effect of a transverse gravitational field on the supercavitating flow past a wedge tend to confirm predictions based on linearized free-streamline theory. A small though systematic dependence upon Froude number not accounted for by the existing theory is revealed, however.
