Cavity Detachment from a Wedge with Rounded Edges and the Surface Tension Effect

Cavity flow around a wedge with rounded edges was studied, taking into account the surface tension effect and the Brillouin–Villat criterion of cavity detachment. The liquid compressibility and viscosity were ignored. An analytical solution was obtained in parametric form by applying the integral ho...

Cavity Detachment from a Wedge with Rounded Edges and the Surface Tension Effect
description Cavity flow around a wedge with rounded edges was studied, taking into account the surface tension effect and the Brillouin–Villat criterion of cavity detachment. The liquid compressibility and viscosity were ignored. An analytical solution was obtained in parametric form by applying the integral hodograph method. This method gives the possibility of deriving analytical expressions for complex velocity and for potential, both defined in a parameter plane. An expression for the curvature of the cavity boundary was obtained analytically. By using the dynamic boundary condition on the cavity boundary, an integral equation in the velocity modulus was derived. The particular case of zero surface tension is a special case of the solution. The surface tension effect was computed over a wide range of the Weber number for various degrees of cavitation development.
