Abstract
To improve the physical understanding of the fatal “violent vibration” in the near-transition range, the “abrupt cavity separations” associated with the vibration were precisely observed in a water flow around two-dimensional hydrofoils, for various angles of incidence and cavitation numbers, by means of high-speed photography. The cavity separation is a periodic phenomenon that the subcavitating cavity and the supercavitating cavity form alternatively between several spanwise locations, accompanied with a bubble cloud shedding from the subcavitation cavity. The cavity separation line becomes highly distorted immediately after the shedding.
