Abstract

This paper presents a calculation method for the 3-D unsteady cavitating hydrofoil problem. The method is based on a simple surface panel method "SQCM" which satisfies easily the Kutta condition even in the unsteady problem. This method is applied to the Wagner problem, heaving hydrofoil and the hydrofoil in sinusoidal gust. We show some calculated results for partially cavitating and supercavitating hydrofoil and compare them with other calculated results.
