Abstract:During the launch process of underwater vehicles, a tail cavity is formed at the bottom, which plays a crucial role in the engine ignition stage. The flow state within this tail cavity significantly impacts the engine's operational efficiency. Moreover, the evolution of the tail cavity and jet coupling, along with hydrodynamic characteristics, influences the motion attitude of the vehicle. This article delves into the effects of initial tail cavity length, Froude number, and pressure ratio on cavity morphology… Show more
