Abstract
ABSTRACT Effects of surface roughness upon the unsteady cavitating flow around a two-dimensional circular cylinder were experimentally investigated at Reynolds numbers from 1.36×10 5 to 1.78×10 5 . Two patterns of surface roughness were investigated. One was the double-cut pattern and another the single-cut one. For some roughness parameters tested, the cavity length exhibits an extreme decrease. In a particular case of the double-cut pattern, there exists the minimum cavity behind the cylinder.
