Abstract
An investigation in the High Speed Water Tunnel of the two-dimensional hydrodynamic characteristics of sharp-edged hydrofoils is described. The lift, drag, and pitching moment were measured in cavitating and noncavitating flows for flat plate and circular arc profiles. The theory of Wu for the forces on sharp-edged profiles in full cavity flow and the experimental results showed good agreement over a wide range of attack angles.
Additional Information
It is a pleasure to acknowledge the participation of R. W. Kermeen, Z. M. Lindberg, R. L, Waid and T. Y. Wu in this experimental investigation. Their interest and assistance was of great value during the course of this work. Thanks are also due to Miss Donna Snyder for the illustrations and to Mrs. Rose Grant for preparing the manuscript.Files
