Numerical study on cavitating flow due to a hydrofoil near a free surface

A numerical strategy is proposed for a viscous uniform flow past a 2-D partially cavitating hydrofoil placed at a finite depth from the free surface. The flow was modeled by the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations. A finite-volume method with the SIMPLE scheme and k-ε turbulence model w...
