Abstract

In Part 1 of this paper a free-streamline wake model mas introduced to treat the fully and partially developed wake flow or cavity flow past an oblique flat plate. This theory is generalized here to investigate the cavity flow past an obstacle of arbitrary profile at an arbitrary cavitation number. Consideration is first given to the cavity flow past a polygonal obstacle whose wetted sides may be concave towards the flow and may also possess some gentle convex corners. The general case of curved walls is then obtained by a limiting process. The analysis in this general case leads to a set of two funnctional equations for which several methods of solutioii are developed and discussed. As a few typictbl examples the analysis is carried out in detail for the specific cases of wedges, two-step wedges, flapped hydrofoils, and inclined circular arc plates. For these cases the present theory is found to be in good agreement with the experimental results available.
