A study of ventilated supercavitation in the reentrant jet regime has been carried out in the
high-speed water tunnel at St. Anthony Falls Laboratory as the hydrodynamics part of an
interdisciplinary study on stability and control of high-speed cavity-running bodies. The work
is aimed at understanding the interaction between a ventilated supercavity and its turbulent
bubbly wake, with the goal to provide the information needed for the development of control
algorithms. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements in high-void fraction bubbly …
