Numerical Investigation into the Effect of Sound Speed in Attached Cavitation on Hydrofoil Modes of Vibration

It has been found recently that the dynamic behavior of a cavitating hydrofoil is different from that in pure water in that, not only are the natural frequencies different, but the mode shapes may also change. In order to elucidate the mechanism behind this phenomenon, finite element simulations wer...
