Numerical Modeling of Unsteady Cavitating Flows around a Stationary Hydrofoil by Antoine Ducoin, Biao Huang, Yin Lu Young

“…The results show that it is important to capture both the mean and fluctuating values of the hydrodynamic coefficients because (1) the high amplitude of the fluctuations is critical to capturing the extremes of the loads to ensure structural safety and (2) the need to capture the frequency of the fluctuations, to avoid unwanted noise, vibrations, and accelerated fatigue issues.…”
