Shape of Slender Axisymmetric Ventilated Supercavities

Figure 9

The cavity shapes on a conic-cylindrical hull (𝛽=−0.1, 𝑥₁=5, 𝑥₂=8, 𝑅_𝑏0=𝑅_𝑏1=0.5, 𝑅_𝑏2=2.5, 𝜀=0.1, and Fr→∞) for different values of the cavitation number (𝜎₀ = −0.046, 0, and 0.2) and different gas injection rates (dashed lines correspond to Δ=0, solid lines to Δ=0.0005, and solid bold lines to Δ=0.002).
