The lubrication of external liquid flow with a bubbly mixture or gas layer has been the goal of
engineers for many years, and this article presents the underlying principles and recent …

Research on hydrodynamics of high speed vehicles in underwater launch process has a
prominent engineering background, and contains typical frontier scientific issues. Relevant …

The waterjet pump cavities would unavoidably interact with inlet guide vanes (IGVs) wakes
and thus to bring about dynamic loading im**ements. This work jointly conducts …

Air-induced drag reduction was investigated on a 12.9 m long flat plate test model at a free
stream speed of. Measurements of the local skin friction, phase velocity profiles (liquid and …

The objective of this paper is to investigate the ventilated cavitating flow structure by
combining experimental and numerical methods. A high-speed camera technique is used to …

The objective of this paper is to investigate the ventilated partial cavitation flow pattern with
experimental methods. The experiments are conducted in a closed-loop cavitation tunnel …

The objective of this paper is mainly to investigate the ventilated cavitating flow around an
axisymmetric body with a focus on the gas leakage mechanisms via combining experimental …

Understanding the optimal values and interactions of parameters within each process is of
highest importance. This study is dedicated to exploring the influence of various parameters …

Ventilated supercavitation is a favorable method for skin friction reduction of underwater
bodies, whereby a cavity is generated through artificial injection of air to cover the entire …

Air lubrication to reduce hull skin friction is an idea that originated more than a century ago.
There are few implementations of this concept, and there are even fewer systematic …
