Abstract

An aerofoil above which is built the artificial cavity low pressure region is called “cavitating airfoil”. By using generalized Blasius's theorem and conformal transformation, this paper investigates the problem of the flow past the aerofoil of cavitating airfoil with the jetstream above cavitation, and gives the formulae of the lift and thrust.
