Abstract :
The immediate goal for the study detailed by this paper is to identify and analyze potential experimental set-ups to study supercavitation, perform tradeoff studies, build the experimental apparatus, and show its efficacy. Ultimately, the purpose of this project is to study supercavitation and investigate potential sensors for measuring the cavity wall separation from the cavitating body to design potential control systems
