conclusions • The Tulinsingle-spiral-vortex model has been employed to describe supercavitatingflow past an elastic hydrofoil • The nonlinear equation of large deflection of an elastic beam (‘elastica’) has been solved exactly in terms of elliptic functions • The method of conformal mappings and the Riemann-Hilbert formalism have been used to solve the cavitation problem in closed form • The fluid-structure interaction problem has been solved by the method of successive approximations • The Prandtl boundary layer equations and the Karman-Pohlhausen method have been applied to derive a nonlinear first-order ODE for the shearing stress on the foil. On the cavity boundary, the shearing stress has been found explicitly
