Title: A New Approach To High-Aspect-Ratio Supercavitating Hydrofoils

Unlike Leehey's (1971) approach, which formulates the lifting-line theory from differential equations, the present theory has extracted the similar lifting-line theory from integral equations derived from the lifting-surface theory. The chief advantage of this method is that it is not necessary to match the inner and outer solutions. This lifting-line theory seems to be close to experimental results for the elliptic planform with aspect ratio 3 and 5, and for the rectangular planform with aspect ratio 6, in the case of δ/α ≥ 1, where σ is the cavitation number and α the incidence of the foil.Read More
