The steady flow pattern and the following assumptions are used: • External water flow is axisymmetric potential, inviscid and incompressible • Internal gas flow is one dimensional, inviscid and incompressible • Gravity and capillarity forces are neglected • Cavitator, cavity and hull are slender

CONCLUSIONS • Ventilated steady slender axysimmetric cavity is considered with the use of one-dimensional inviscid flow of the incompressible gas in the channel between the cavity surface and the body of revolution. The non-linear differential equation and its numerical and asymptotic solutions were obtained. • For the disc and cone cavitators the ventilation can sufficiently increase the cavity dimensions and its rate is limited by two critical values. Ventilation sufficiently decreases the base cavity length. • Examples of calculations for cylindrical and cone-cylindrical shapes of the body located in the cavity are presented. It was shown that the cavity shape depends sufficiently on the values of Ve and the cavitation number at the same fixed cross-section. • Presented theoretical results allow explaining the experimental facts of both a weak and hysteresis dependence of the cavity length on ventilation and its abrupt increase.
