In this paper numerical study of cavity over hydrofoils is considered by using boundary element method based on potential flow. For this purpose hydrofoil and cavity surface are approximated by panels. Then sources and doublets are distributed over...

A fixed-length Boundary Element Method (BEM) is used to investigate the super and partial cavitating flows around various axisymmetric bodies using simple and re-entrant jet models at the closure zone of cavity. Also, a simple algorithm is proposed...

to track the cavity interface. The second method is that of the steady boundary element method (BEM) which is a model based on the potential flow theory. The supercavitation results of the two methods for disk and cone cavitators are compared with each...

is then solved using the boundary element method. In order to

examine the optimization results, several cavitators with a total drag coefficient close to

that of the optimum cavitators are also numerically simulated. Eventually, the optimum...
