17 results about "Supercavitation" patented technology

Supercavitation is the use of cavitation effects to create a bubble of gas or vapor large enough to encompass an object traveling through a liquid, greatly reducing the skin friction drag on the object and enabling high speeds. Current applications are mainly limited to projectiles or fast supercavitation torpedoes, and some propellers, but in principle, the technique could be extended to include entire vehicles. Russian Navy is the only one in the world having supercavitation torpedoes VA-111 Shkval in service. Due to the use of supercavitation, this torpedo is a unique weapon that exceeds the speed of conventional torpedoes by at least a factor of 5. The supercavitation VA-111 Shkval torpedo was developed in the Soviet Union and it has been in service since 1977. Chinese and the US Navy are reportedly working on supercavitating submarines using technical information obtained regarding the Soviet Shkval torpedoes.

Ventilation parameter design method for supercavitating vehicle

This invention discloses a method for designing ventilation parameters for a supercavitating vehicle. Referring to the vehicle's shape and speed, the required ventilation volumetric flow rate for generating a suitable cavitation bubble size is calculated using the ventilation rate formula. The gas density inside the bubble is determined based on the environmental pressure and required cavitation number. The combustion surface of the solid propellant grain in the gas generator is designed in conjunction with fuel characteristics. Supercavitating vehicles designed using this invention are launched from underwater UUVs and surface ships, primarily for countering underwater targets. The method of this invention can efficiently obtain the ventilation parameters required for generating the appropriate supercavitation size when the vehicle is operating under variable conditions. Furthermore, through reasonable propellant design, the supercavitation size of the vehicle can be easily changed to adapt to changes in operating conditions. This avoids the problem of the vehicle not being fully covered by a supercavitation size that is too small after changing operating conditions, as well as the waste and even performance degradation caused by a supercavitation size that is too large.
