CALCULATION OF THE CAVITATING FLOW AROUND A CIRCULAR CONE BY A SUBSONIC STREAM OF A COMPRESSIBLE FLUID

The problem of the flow around a circular cone according to the Ryabus hinskii scheme by an axially symmetric subsonic compressible fluid is considered in a non-linear formulation. A numerical-analytical method is proposed for solving the problem, based on the use of the variables of a velocity hodograph, and is a development of the method proposed [1] for calculating the jet efflux from a funnel-shaped vessel. Result s of a numerical investigation of the cavitating flow around a disc an d cavitator with a conical channel by an axially symmetric subsonic st ream of water are presented.
