Abstract
A partially cavitating hydrofoil experiment is performed at the MIT Variable Pressure Water Tunnel to ultimately assess the validity of several computational methods. Velocities are taken along a rectangular control surface surrounding the hydrofoil, in the boundary layer region, as well as in the proximity of the cavity surface. The cavitation number is evaluated by measuring the pressure inside the cavity via a manometer. The measurements are compared to the numerical results from a coupled, nonlinear, inviscid cavity analysis method and a boundary layer solver. Forces are computed from measured velocities via momentum integrations and are compared with those predicted by the numerical method.
