Cavitating Hydrofoil

An analysis is made of the effect of a transverse gravity field on a two-dimensional fully cavitating flow past a flat-plate hydrofoil. Under the assumption that the flow is both irrotational and incompressible, a non-linear method is developed by using conformal mapping and the solution to a mixed-boundary-value problem in an auxiliary half plane. A new cavity model, proposed by Tulin (1964a), is employed. The solution to the gravity-affected case was found by iteration; the non-gravity solution was used as the initial trial of a rapidly convergent process. The theory indicates that the lift and cavity size are reduced by the gravity field. Typical results are presented and compared to Parkin's (1957) linear theory.

Superposed Fluids

A general equation studying the combined effect of horizontal and vertical magnetic fields on the stability of two superposed fluids has been obtained. The unstable and stable cases at the interface (z = 0) between two uniform fluids, with both the possibilities of real and complex n, have been. separately dealt with. Some new results are obtained. In the unstable case with real n, the perturbations are damped or unstable according as 2(k'-k~L2)_(<X2-<Xl)k is> or < 0 under the physical situation (35). In the stable case, the perturbations are stable or unstable according as 2(k2_k~L2)+(<Xl-<X2)k is > or < 0 under the same physical situation (35). The perturbations become unstable if HIlIH 1- (= L) is large. Both the cases are also discussed with imaginary n.
