Supercavitating Underwater Vehicles :

Supercavitation can be used to envelope an underwater device or vessel and allow it to travel at greatly increased speed by significant reduction of the drag.

Advantages:

Greatly reduced drag.

Application:

Underwater vessels and devices.

Simerics: Solve Flows, Pressures, Cavitation, Turbulence and Loads:

Discriminators:

• Robust/ accurate modeling of cavitation
• Ease-of-use
• Fast turn-around

Design Issues/Benefits:

• Optimize the design to maximize the benefit derived from the cavitation
