Munk integrals for fully cavitated hydrofoils
ResearchPublished 1961
The use of a linearized closed-cavity theory to obtain a solution for the two-dimensional cavity flow around a cambered hydrofoil of arbitrary shape. Integral representations for the hydrodynamic coefficients of the profile are found by superposing certain fundamental solutions. To test the theory, calculations are carried out for a "low drag" profile for which experimental data are available. Satisfactory agreement between experiment and theory is obtained.
