Abstract

A perturbation theory is applied to investigate the small-time behavior of unsteady cavity flows in which the time-dependent part of the flow may be taken as a small-time expansion superimposed on an established steady cavity flow of an ideal fluid. One purpose of this paper is to study the effect of the initial cavity size on the resulting flow due to a given disturbance. Various existing steady cavity-flow models have been employed for this purpose to evaluate the initial reaction of a cavitated body in an unsteady motion. Furthermore, a physical model is proposed here to give a proper representation of the mechanism by which the cavity volume may be changed with time; the initial hydrodynamic force resulting from such change is calculated on the basis of this model.
