dc.description.abstractUsing multiphase computational simulations based on the Navier-Stokes equations, we examine the internal gaseous flows of artificially ventilated supercavities. These simulations indicate that air shear layers that develop on the cavity-wall (the air-liquid interface surrounding the cavity) are an important mechanism of air entrainment. This corroborates previous theory developed for toroidal cavities, and indicates that similar mechanisms occur in twin-vortex cavities and cavities closing on bodies. The importance of these shear layers on the cavity behavior potentially impacts computational simulations, experiments, and design-level models. Lastly, a more inclusive, semi-empirical air entrainment model is presented that attempts to accommodate the observed processes.en_US
