Supercavitation Advances and Perspectives A collection dedicated to the 70th jubilee of Yu.N. Savchenko

This collection is dedicated to the 70th jubilee of Yu. N. Savchenko, and presents experimental, theoretical, and numerical investigations written by an international group of well-known authors. The contributions solve very important problems of the high-speed hydrodynamics,such as supersonic motion in water, drag diminishing, dynamics and stability of supercavitating vehicles, water entry and hydrodynamic performances  of hydrofoils, ventilated cavities after a disc and under the ship  bottom.
The  book is written for researches, scientists, engineers, and students interested in problems of hydromechanics.
