Two-dimensional cavitating flow past an oblique plate in a channel

A numerical method based on series truncation is presented to solve the problem of irrotational, inviscid, incompressible and steady flow of a fluid past an oblique flat plate placed in a tunnel. The gravity effect is neglected but we take into account the surface tension effect. A suggested numerical method for the solution of the fully nonlinear problem is presented for which the flow is super-critical in the downstream. It is found that solutions exist for each inclination angle of the plate. The effect of the Weber number, the value of the inclination angle and the shape of the free surface are discussed.
