Numerical Investigation of High-Reynolds-Number Air-Ventilated Water Flow under Solid Body with Surface Geometry Variations

Air-ventilated cavities formed under or around the hulls of marine vehicles can reduce water drag. Hull configurations with partial air ventilation where air cavities reattach to body surfaces are of special practical interest, since the required air supply rates to achieve significant drag reductio...
