This paper describes investigations of the dynamics and acoustics of clouds of cavitation bubbles. Recent experimental and computational findings show that the collapse of clouds of cavitating bubbles ...

Submarine propeller designs are highly classified due to their critical role in acoustic stealth and survivability. Cavitation noise from propellers is a major vulnerability, and advanced designs aim ...
