LIST OF FIGURES 



1 - Travelling Bubble Cavitation on a 1.5-Cal Ogive 



(Knapp and Hollander 1948) 5 



2 - Cavitation on a Two-Inch Diameter Hemisphere Body: 



Flow from Right to Left; Speed = 40 ft/sec 



(From Parkin and Kermeen 1953) 7 



3 - Cavitation Index on Hemispherical and 1.5-Cal Ogive 



Bodies as a Function of Reynolds Number (From 

 Parkin and Holl 1953: The point of dis- 

 appearance of the cavitation is used as 

 the index in this case and this is 

 termed "desinent" cavitation by 

 Holl.) 10 



4 - Cavitation Index on a Series of Geometrically 



Similar Hydrofoils Showing a Size Effect 



(Parkin 1952) 11 



5 - Cavitation Inception Index versus Tunnel Speed for Two 



Dissolved Air Contents on a Flat-Faced Ellipsoidal 



Body for Various Test Facilities (Lindgren and 



Johnsson 1966, ITTC Tests) 13 



6 - Incipient Cavitation on the ITTC Headform in 



Various Facilities (Johnsson 1969) 15 



7 - Cavitation Inception on the ITTC Body — 



Caltech HSWT 16 



8 - A Form of Cavitation Inception on a Hydrofoil 



(Arakeri 1971) 17 



9 - Schlieren Flow Visualization System (Lindgren and 



Johnsson 1966) 19 



10 - The Spark Source, Steady Source, and Collecting 



Lens Setup in the Caltech LTWT 20
