Abstract

The non-linear problem of cavity flow past a hydrofoil is considered with taking into account fluid viscosity in the cavity closure region and surface tension, which affect the cavity detachment. The theoretical model is based on the concept of viscous–inviscid interaction between the outer inviscid cavity flow and the inner turbulent separated flow downstream of the cavity. The outer inviscid flow is solved by constructing the complex flow potential, and the wake model is based on the method of integral relationships for separated turbulent flows. The obtained numerical results are compared with experimental data.
