Bulk cavitation caused by a plane shock wave
Abstract
The bulk cavitation analysis method presented in this report eliminates the need to segment water for the purpose of solving simple equations of motion between water elements. The one-dimensional problem, analyzed in detail, demonstrates the ease of application of the method. Plots of cavitation closure, water pressure, and water particle velocity are provided from the analysis. The results of the one-dimensional analysis can be compared with results from other analytical methods to determine the differences. Originator supplied keywords include: Surface ship loading, cavitation closure depth, and cavitation closure time.
