At this point, the pressure field around the non-cavitating or cavitating hydrofoil must be calculated.
For example, an airplane wing and a hydrofoil can be viewed as analogous because both generate lift using flow over their surfaces.
The main topics of the paper are: cavitation inception in either regime, hydrofoil saturation and the sweeping away of a cavity by bubbles.
Experiments on two-dimensional cavitating hydrofoils show important differences in global behaviour of flows according to the population of air nuclei conveyed by the liquid.
Avellan presented results of cavitation at the leading edge of a hydrofoil placed at an incidence angle with respect to the oncoming high-speed flow.
The dispersion of the nuclei is not fully achieved at the test section entry and both cavitating regimes can be juxtaposed on the hydrofoil upper side (figure 4, plate 1).
Close interest is taken in the possible advantages of introducing unconventional craft into the future fleet mixes—hovercraft, hydrofoils and fast patrol boats.
I remember the excitement not long ago at the development of the hovercraft and the hydrofoil.
