1. Introduction
High-speed underwater vehicles have many
advantages and disadvantages. So, many
researchers simulate is behaviour and try to
control is trajectory. Mostafa et al. (2001) study
experimentally the flow around a hemisphere
cylinder by shooting a projectile and employing
Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) to measure the
velocity field. A doublet is generated between

2. Theory background
The calculation of cavitation phenomena in this
paper is based on solving Navier-Stokes
equations through cavitation module of ESI CFD 2010 and K- turbulence model.
A
numerical model previously developed by ESICFD to solve (Navier- Stokes) equations (Sighal,
1999).
As we know in cavitational flow as 2D flow, the
mixture mass density () is function of vapour
mass fraction (f), water density and vapour
density. The -f relationship is:
