Abstract
This report covers Water Tunnel measurements of the infinite aspect ratio characteristics and cavitation characteristics of a hydrofoil section. The profile tested is identical to the 4412 airfoil section of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics and is called the NACA 4412 hydrofoil in this report. Measurements and observations include lift, drag, and pitching moment and the inception and development of cavitation as functions of the angle of attack, velocity, and pressure of the flow. The purpose of this report is to present these measurements of the characteristics of this section in water, to compare the results with other available information on this shape, and to evaluate the Water Tunnel method for obtaining the complte hydrodynamic characteristics of hydrofoils.
