Supercavitation

Abstract

In this paper, the results of investigations of dynamics of supercavitating (SC) bodies are presented, which were performed by authors in cooperation with Yu.N. Savchenko. Computer simulation of the SC-body motion based on the G.V. Logvinovich principle of independence of supercavity section expansion [1, 2] is the main research method. A general problem of the three-dimensional (3D) motion of the SC-body is formulated. Special cases of both the longitudinal and the lateral motion of SC-bodies are considered. Problems of the motion stability and optimization of SC-bodies moving on inertia on the arbitrary angle to the horizon are investigated. It is shown that the SC-vehicle motion in the regime of planing within a cavity is unstable on the depth. A comparative analysis of stabilization and control of motion (maneuverability) of SC-vehicles by inclination of the cavitator having two degrees of freedom and by the vectoring thrust is given.

In this paper, some materials from the works [3–9] were used, a part of the results were represented on the International conferences [10–13].
