Decavitator Human-Powered Hydrofoil

open access: yes, 2007
The Decavitator is a human-powered hydrofoil water vehicle designed for the fastestpossible speed over short distances. Since 1988, numerous versions of the underwater hydrofoil system, control and stability system, and pontoons were built and tested. In

Numerical investigation of the hydroelastic response in cavitating flow around a flexible hydrofoil

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2015
The objective of this paper is to investigate the hydroelastic response of cavitating flows around a flexible hydrofoil. The numerical simulations are performed by solving the incompressible and unsteady Reynolds Average Navier-Stokes (URANS) equations via the commercial CFD software ANSYS CFX. The k-ω SST turbulence model with the turbulence viscosity

Study of the cavitating instability on a grooved Venturi profile [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Instabilities of a partial cavity developed on a hydrofoil, a converging-diverging step, or in an interblade channel have already been investigated in many previous works. The aim of this study is to evaluate a passive control method of the sheet cavity.

The numerical study of the cavitation-structure interaction around 3D flexible hydrofoil

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2015
The closely coupled approach combined the Finite Volume Method (FVM) solver and the Finite Element Method (FEM) solver is applied to simulation the cavitation-structure interaction of a 3D cantilevered flexible hydrofoil in water tunnel. In the cavitating flow, the elastic hydrofoil would deform or vibrate in bending and twisting mode.
