LINEARIZED THEORY OF CAVITY FLOW PAST A HYDROFOIL OF ARBITRARY SHAPE

Present report is concerned with the problem of steady plane flow of a cavitating hydrofoil, within the frame of the linearized theory. The aim of this study is the development of a theory which connects the gap between the theories of partially cavitated and fully cavitated flows. The theory is semiempirical and contains constants or functions to be determined by extensive experiments. It is hoped that the present analysis may shed some light on future development of the theoretical prediction on a hydrofoil best fitted for cavity flow in characteristics.
