5. Summary
1. Why do we focus on this topic?
(1)To develop high speed underwater vehicles and hydraulic machineries, supercavitation is unavoidable.
(2)The hydrodynamic characteristics of supercavitating vehicles is very complicated, especially on the tail part.
(3)The hydrodynamic characteristics of the tail part is multi-factor depended and could be parametric modeled。
2. Experimental Setup• (1) High speed water tunnel of
NPU– It’s a closed cyclic water tunnel
with cylinder test section– Equipped with complete force
balances, distributed pressure measuring system, ventilation system, high-speed camera, PIV system and flow noise measuring and analysis system, etc.
– Mainly used to study cavitation flow, hydrodynamic characteristic and flow noise characteristic of underwater vehicles.

3. Data analysis and conclusion• (3)Comparation of M1~M3
– With the decrease of diameter of cavitator
– the slenderness of supercavity increase
– drag coefficient gets lower– so does the attaching angle and
critical angle
4. Discuss on tail hydrodynamic model
(1)Attaching angle of attackAt which the tail begins to attach the cavity wall. It is
affected by the slenderness of supercavity, and it can be zero.
(2)Critical angle of attack At which the tail provides max negative moment of
pitch. It decreases with the increase of slenderness of vehicles.
(3)Drag coefficient model of tail part
(4)Lift coefficient model of tail part
(5)Moment of pitch model of tail part

5. Summary
(1)There are an attaching angle and a critical angle of attack that govern the hydrodynamic characteristic of supercavitating vehicles.
(2)Within the attaching angle of attack, the drag coefficient is constant, lift and pitching moments curve take zero value.
(3)Between attaching angle and critical angle, the cx, cy and mz can be described linear approximately. To be more precise, the curve should be described using polynomials.
(4)The attaching angle and critical angle is determined by the slenderness of vehicles and the supercavitaty. By ventilation model experiment in water tunnel, the hydrodynamic coefficient can be acquired and formulated.
