Supercavitation Capabilities On A Submarine, Adam Vu
Georgia College Student Research Events
Submarines have shaped the way wars have been fought and have been influential in our understanding of fluid dynamics. In the past, supercavitation has been implemented to an idea that has been used to significantly increase the velocity of torpedoes in Chinese and Russian submarines. An example of this is the Russian VA-111 Shkval torpedo. The idea being that if your torpedo is expelling a gas out of the nose cone region, creating a boundary layer between the water and the torpedo, the torpedo will be facing much less resistance relative to when it was traveling in water alone. This …

In this era of increased global warming, the immediate reduction of CO2 emission is of great importance to the survival of humanity. Wind power can go a long way to offer a better alternative to generate sustainable power without producing any CO2 gas. The reductions of CO2 emissions are of significant importance to humanity. Wind power can offer a better alternative to generate sustainable power without producing CO2. Traditional turbines consist of rotating blades while a Bladeless turbine would significantly simplify the design. This would offer possible improvements such as cost savings, reduction of the operating noise level, simplification of …
