Linearized theory of cavity flow in two dimensions

Blaine Raphael Parkin

Expert InsightsPublished 1959

A review of the linearized theory of two-dimensional cavity flows, with particular emphasis on the fundamentals of the theory. Several examples concerned with calculating the hydrodynamic characteristics of both lifting and nonlifting fully cavitating bodies are presented. Flows involving nonsteady motions of cavitating bodies and flows having multiple boundaries are considered. To indicate the applicability of the linearized theory, numerical results from it are compared with results from corresponding nonlinearized theories or with experiment for a number of different cavity flows.
