Abstract:
A plane problem of cavitation flow of an ideal incompressible liquid past a plate is solved with the use of a new cavity-closure scheme. The cavity is closed by a liquid region containing a source doublet. The general solution to the problem is found, and the parametric analysis is performed. The dependence of the relative length and frontal cross-sectional area of the cavity on the cross-section area reduction ratio of the flow is given for various cavitation numbers.
