Cavitation in a tip leakage flow is experimentally investigated in a cavitation tunnel using a
stationary hydrofoil analogy. The experiments were performed for different tip clearances (⁠ …

This paper presents results from an experimental study of the hydrodynamic and
hydroelastic performance of six different flexible hydrofoils of similar geometry; four metal …

The objective of this work is to present combined experimental and numerical studies of load-
dependent bend-twist coupling effects on the steady-state hydroelastic response of …

The design optimization of flexible hydrofoils and propellers requires coupled hydrodynamic
and structural analysis to achieve truly optimal, physically realizable, and structurally sound …

In the last decade, there has been an increased interest in the use of multidisciplinary
optimization techniques for the design of aerospace, maritime, and wind engineering …

The spatial and acoustic characteristics of tip vortex cavitation (TVC) inception were
measured in a cavitation tunnel. Numerous cavitation events were recorded to reveal the …

The influence of nucleation on cavitation inception in a high Reynolds number shear layer in
the wake of a backward-facing step was experimentally investigated in a water tunnel. The …

Microbubble populations within the test section of a variable-pressure water tunnel have
been characterised for various operating conditions. The tunnel was operated with …
