Abstract
A scheme is proposed for studying the symmetric steady flow with developed cavitation of an ideal incompressible and weightless fluid past a wedge in a channel. This scheme generalizes the existing schemes of cavitation flow past bodies and describes flow that is intermediate between the flow past obstacles in the Riabouchinsky and Efros schemes. Detailed calculations have been made for the drag coefficient and the cavity size in the case of a plate in an unbounded flow. The results of the calculations are tabulated.
