The role played by surface tension onto the wave breaking flow generated by a submerged hydrofoil is numerically investigated by a two-fluids Navier-Stokes approach. Both the initial breaking establishment and the successive evolution are addressed. Increasing surface tension is found to progressively suppress the initial jet formation and the entrainment of air.

Abstract
The role played by surface tension onto the wave breaking flow generated by a submerged hydrofoil is numerically investigated by a two-fluids Navier-Stokes approach. Both the initial breaking establishment and the successive evolution are addressed. Increasing surface tension is found to progressively suppress the initial jet formation and the entrainment of air.File in questo prodotto:
