Supercavitation
Use of a cavitation bubble to reduce skin friction drag on a submerged object
Supercavitation
In hydrodynamic engineering, supercavitation is the artificial generation of a cavitation bubble to reduce skin friction drag on a submerged object and enable high-speed travel. Applications include torpedoes and propellers, but in theory, the technique could be extended to an entire underwater vessel.
