A HOLOGRAPHIC STUDY OF CAVITATION ON AXISYMMETRIC BODIES AND THE INFLUENCE OF POLYMER ADDITIVES

The origin of cavitation and basic definitions are reviewed. A description of the experimental facility and procedure follows. Central to the method is the holographic technique, utilizing a ruby laser, pulsed for higher intensity. The influence of polymer additives (ethylene oxide) on the boundary layer flow about the models (Hemispherical and blunt-nosed) and the injection of a 2% sodium chloride solution to visualize that part of the boundary layer close to the model, are described.
