When a high-speed projectile penetrates into water, a cavity is formed behind the projectile. The gas enclosed in the cavity experiences a nonequilibrium process, i.e., the gas pressure decreases as the projectile moves more deeply into water. As a result, the cavity is sealed near the free surface (surface closure) and subsequently the cavity breaks up in water (deep closure). Accompanying the break-up of the cavity, secondary shock waves appear. This is the so-called supercavitation in water entry. This paper describes an experimental investigation into the water entry phenomenon. Projectiles of 342 m/s were generated from a small-bore rifle that was fixed vertically in the experimental facility. The projectiles were fired into a windowed water tank. A shadowgraph optical observation was performed to observe the entry process of the projectile and the formation and collapse of the cavity behind the projectile. A number of interesting observations relating to the motion of the free surface, the splash, the underwater bubbly flow and so on were found. [S0098-2202(00)00204-2]

This study experimentally investigates the interaction between rising bubbles and swirling water flow imposed around the central (vertical) axis of a bubble plume in a cylindrical water tank. Small air bubbles are successively released from the bottom of the tank to generate a bubble plume, and a stirring disc at the bottom of the tank is rotated to impose a swirling water flow around the central axis of the bubble plume. The bubbles disperse further with the increasing rotational speedωof the stirring disc. Some bubbles shift toward the central axis of the swirling flow whenωis high. The nondimensional swirling velocity of water reduces with increasing bubble flow rate whenωis lower than a certain value. However, it is less affected by the bubbles whenωis higher. The precessional amplitude for the upper end of the vortex core increases due to the presence of the bubbles. With increasingω, the nondimensional precessional velocity decreases, and the bubble effect also reduces.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of green water loads on a wave-piercing tumblehome ship. A water tank experiment was carried out in head regular waves by using a self-propelling segmented ship model. Wave probes and pressure sensors were arranged on the bow deck along the longitudinal and transverse directions. The height of water and the impact pressure on the deck were measured and their distributions in different wave conditions studied. The motion of the water flowing on the deck was recorded by a high-speed video system. Based on the experimental results, it was found that the green water is more serious with the increase of incident wave height and ship speed. The bow shape has little effects on the occurrence of green water, but it influences the green water loads to some extent. The distribution of green water pressure is different from that of green water height due to the strong nonlinearity of green water pressure.
