Cavitation deceleration of a circular cylinder in a liquid after impact

详细

The formation of a cavity during vertical impact and subsequent deceleration of a circular cylinder semi-immersed in a liquid is investigated. The problem with unilateral constraints is formulated to determine the initial regions of separation and contact of liquid particles and the perturbations of the inner and outer free boundaries of the liquid at small times. The problem is solved using a direct asymptotic method which is effective at small times. Examples of numerical calculations of the formation of one or two cavities near the boundary of the body are given. It is shown that the acceleration of the cylinder has a significant effect on the liquid flow pattern near the body at small times.
