Determination of Limit Velocities of Supercavitating Motion of Strikers from Various Materials in Water

Experimental-theoretical investigations have been conducted into underwater supercavitating motion of cone strikers from various materials in a broad range of velocities. An estimate of the range of strikers’ velocities has been performed for the implementation of their nondestructive entry into water and motion in it in a supercavitating regime. A possibility of an accurate hit by supercavitating strikers on underwater barriers in a supersonic range of motion velocities has been shown.
