Flow and Cavity Measurements in a Super-Cavitating Propeller

The design of super-cavitating propellers takes advantage of the development of air cavities on the blades’ surface to reduce drag and, ultimately, increase efficiency. The mechanism of flow modification induced by the development of a cavity on the propeller blades was investigated experimentally v...
