Computer simulation of flow past arbitrary hydrofoils with partial cavitation

A method of the numerical investigation of cavitation flow past an arbitrary hydrofoil or a system of hydrofoils and flow past a hydrofoil in a channel or near a free boundary is developed on the basis of the generalized integral Green relation and direct iteration procedure. Emphasis is placed on the numerical analysis of smooth separation of the cavity boundary from a curvilinear surface. The comparison with available analytical and numerical solutions shows a high efficiency of the method proposed.
