What is Optimizing Cavitator Design for Torpedoes about?
This document discusses the optimization of cavitator shape for supercavitating torpedoes. It presents a technique for modeling supercavity fluid flow and defines the cavitator shape using a spline. The optimization problem aims to minimize drag coefficient while meeting cavity number constraints. Results show optimized shapes reduce drag coefficient and cavity number compared to a flat disk cavitator. A variable shape cavitator is suggested to accommodate different cavity lengths required at higher speeds.
