The shear flow on the large-scale gas–water wall inside a ventilated supercavity exhibits
gas entrainment mode and determines the change law of the supercavity's gas loss …

Tail cavities are common in gas-propelled underwater cold emission and jet-propelled
underwater vehicles. They can also provide a stable working environment for solid rocket …

The objective of this paper is mainly to investigate the ventilated tail cavity flow of an
underwater vehicle with focus on the gas leakage regime by experimental and numerical …

The tail of an underwater vehicle with a tail jet often creates an attached tail cavity when
moving at high speed. The strong coupling between the tail cavity and high-speed jet affects …

Cavitation is a transient phase transition between liquid and vapor, and it often occurs in
fluid machinery, especially in a hydraulic torque converter that uses oil as the working …

High-speed gaseous jets are commonly found in deep-water propulsion systems. The
submerged high-speed gaseous jet becomes turbulent due to the density difference …

Submerged high-speed gaseous jets exhibit complex evolution and instability mechanisms
due to the significant density and velocity differences between the gas and the surrounding …

The flow pattern of underwater jet under co-flow is complex, with oscillations reflected in
back pressure and nozzle thrust, impacting vehicle performance. This paper presents an …

After the underwater vehicle detaches from the launch tube and starts its engine, the
interaction between the tail cavity and the high-speed jet significantly impacts its motion …

Laminar submerged free jet theory still falls short in the near-nozzle region and transition to
Schlichting's self-similar jet. The author's recent solution, based on mass conservation, is …
