Abstract:

The Kelvin-Helmholtz-Taylor combined stability criteria is deduced for the cavity walls formed by supercavitating hydrofoils. The effects of gravity, density ratio, cavitation number and evaporation are discussed. Surface tension and centrifugal forces are aloso taken into consideration. Author
