Simulation of Partial and Supercavitating Flows around Axisymmetric and Quasi-3D Bodies by Boundary Element Method Using Simple and Reentrant Jet Models at the Closure Zone of Cavity

Table 1

A comparison of meshing and convergency between BEM and Navier-Stokes method.

Model	Dimension	Number of elements (meshes)	Time of convergency (minute)
BEM	Axisymmetric	~200	~3
	Quasi-3D	~2400	~25
Navier-Stokes	Axisymmetric	~90000	~400
	3D	~600000	~2100
